Keeping it classy I see, coming on here and bashing the company and pilot group, yet you jumpseat on us, clearly meaning you rely on us to get you from point A to point B. By the posts you have posted on here, it seems you would rather see pilots go elsewhere and in turn would rather see the company shut down and all of our pilots out of a job. If that is the case, you might want to consider renting a car from now on and driving on that route that you jumpseat on, after all, if we shut down, that is the only way you could get to your destination. I'm not saying you are not welcome on my flight and on my jumpseat, I am just saying consider the implications if you had it your way and Lakes ceased operations tomorrow!
Lakes didn't settle their debt, they broke down the ballon payment into multiple payments, with higher interest rates and many more fees than before but Raytheon still the providing the financing as well as the larges stock holders of GLA. I am not bashing the Lakes pilot group. You need to get your facts straight! What I said was don't come here thumping your chest about how you are going to make a stand when is out of your hand, unless of course everyone quits!
