Let me preface it by saying that I truly do feel bad for you guys that you have to work for such a POS life form as BB. What a pile of scum. Even after some of us AAI guys have started to get the cold shoulder and much less than warm receptions on your jumpseats (not sure why, but okay), my heart still goes out to you.

However, are you flipping insane?! This lower life form called BB is running your company into the ground. There will NEVER be snapbacks or profit sharing. Unfortunately, it's no longer the Sean Menke Frontier. It's the BB/Republic Holdings Frontier. Learn from the past. Once you agree to concessions with your type of management, the chances of you getting it back are slim.

It's the same scenario of a management team that doesn't truly know how to generate revenue so they try to cut costs no matter what. I believe that someone quoted the Albert Einstein definition of insanity a few pages back.

While it's easy to armchair QB when you're not the one who's facing a potential loss of a high five figure, or even a six figure salary, come on guys. Do you really think that taking paycuts will actually "save" F9? The only thing that will do that is a management team that actually has a clue on how to run an independent airline. At least save face in the meantime.

I just can't fathom FAPA and it's pilot group falling for this. I'm sure the vote's going to go down as something like 90% "NO". MAX PAY TILL THE LAST DAY. Don't worry about the rest of us behind you having to follow at single digit taxi speeds. Personally, you'd do me proud if I had a 15 minute taxi for T/O to 1L behind a Bus in MKE.
