Look I will buy that....I should say "you" versus "you guys," a phrase too ingrained in my vernacular. That statement was directed at the poster, and in a round about way the two guys who went to Eagle I was referring to. So a small, small group. But I stand by that statement, does he really expect mainline jobs and lightning upgrades? I hope people get 'em, but history paints a different story.

I don't buy the pilot shortage argument either. Primarily MGT has toooooo many tricks up their sleeve! 'nuff said about that. Mostly, I am not hoping doom and gloom on my pilot compatriots. I can read between the lines as to what RJ (et. al.) is saying. Definitely not the first time I have encountered pilots wishing ill on other pilots. It is as if there isn't enough adversity out there.

If anyone has followed my posts, I was so frickin' mad about the furloughs at TSA!! And then Go Jet guys come and say how they need to feed their family. Something else is going on at GO Jets, wake up!! And then someone spread a rumor about furloughs at Eagle would be done so arbitrarily by equipment instead of by seniority number. I was just furious! I get so mad when pilots get shafted, and I don't even work at those places. About the only thing that gets me more mad is the pilots who gloat about it.

Pilots help pilots. I have definitely been helped by folks on this forum. If my job is jeopardy, I would like to see folks standing up with us, not jeering us!
