Mulva,

Yeah, surely hockeypilot speaks for all of us... We've all got our winners and losers amongst us. From what I've heard from a few peole, F9 is no different. Amongst a few "characters" here and elsewhere, RAH has a vast number of good pilots with clean established records, 5-8k turbine PIC and viable prereq's to enable them to be hired anywhere... if you add up the number of available spots in different majors over the last 5 years, and look at the number of regional pilots, you'll see why many of us are still here. So, as people here seem to like asking, why not move on and let F9 and RAH be in their own happy little separate spheres? What right do we have to those SLI slots? While I don't speak for the union, I think it's safe to say that while many of us are still trying to move elsewhere, we sure don't want to close a door here in case there's one good reason or another to stay - and there are potentially positive reasons to stay depending on one's geographic or personal reasons. We have no good right to those planes any more than you have a good right to continued FFD funding for the existence of the F9 brand... not opening a can or worms... no need to read too deeply into that - my point it, it's all above our paygrades and there's no "right" to any of it other than an agreed upon SLI, and the legal obstacles each group can choose to throw in its way. That's the right your guys are choosing to exercise now.

Other than that, you're just jumping on a flaming bag of *#!% hockeypilot put on your front porch.
