This isn't directed at SnoJet, just an observation...
I've always thought it funny that sometimes the senior guys are quite happy to keep all the good stuff for themselves, while screwing the folks at the bottom. They then turn around and say that they're stuck at ABC airline, because if they go to XYZ airline, they're gonna be treated like crap at the bottom.
The unfortunate fate of the Comair guys should be a warning. Those CA's are now making a fourth of what they used to earn, flying the same airplanes. It would be nice if we didn't eat our young in aviation.
