I will acknowledge that we did not make money in the third quarter. We did show an operational profit and the top line revenue shows bright spots all over. But to accuse me that I am the problem with this industry is so preposterous that I don't even know where to begin. This is my fifth airline in 11 years. I have been furloughed more times than I can count. I have more types than I have recurrent events.

I have stood the high ground more times than I can count. And you know what happens everytime I turn around to look for support, or even a show of confidence from my pilot brothers or my management to do what's right by its people. I end up on the bottom of another seniority list. So please spare me your crap. I no longer care to hear it. I am now working for the same person you all are. Myself. And if that means lining up behind an untried business model, or a nonunion carrier when there are no legacy jobs to be had? You know what I say? Go Virgin! I've never wished harm on anyone else and still don't. I want to see us all succeed. And I don't want that success to come from fish, any of the haters, or anyone else for that matter.

To act like I'm the problem when you all built this industry. Ha!
