I threw the military comment in there because almost all of our senior pilots have some military affiliation. The airline used to hire almost all military while the pilots hired in the last few years are almost all civilian. My comment about not thinking for themselves came from the fact that a TA has never been voted down. I know this does not make my comment any better. I am sorry. I did not realize that one comment would offend so many people. Thank you guys and girls for defending our country.
Good job Hockey.... Man you you to apologize and says it something about your character. I apologize for the direct hit and less than eloquent rebuke.
Guys don't normally talk about it at work, but our military families have paid a heavy price for our country. We all have friends that didn't make it back home....
Respectfully,
TC
