BoilerUP is not advocating a race to the bottom. He is stating the obvious. And he doesn't need your "Feeling sorry for him".

He and I and a few others on this board have been fighting hard to stop the race to the bottom. We just won a major grievance at our company which helps to do just that.

I have flown with captains at my company who, through good timing, are captains with quite low time. They have been almost without exception very good, safe pilots and have shown better judgement than some more experienced ones I have flown with who seem to revert to a 60's style cowboy way of thinking in tough situations. (LGA anyone?)

Don't pick on BoilerUP until you know the fight that has been going in within our company to stop the race to the bottom. We have lost a lot of business opportunities supposedly because of our pilot group's refusal to participate in that race.
