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!
