Funny that morons are taught to happily move on when a manager through a breach of fiduciary duty steals the cheese. Frankly, I hate that stupid book and try to throw as many copies as I can in the garbage. Leo Mullins and Michelle clearly took a lifetime supply of cheese with them when they left the building.
Those two mortgaged this company and what was our careers. Yes?
What are RA and Co. attempting to do?
-Payback that debt?
-Reduce the debt service to dampen the boom-bust that this industry is known for? (and in turn massive hiring followed by massive displacements and furloughs)
-Reduce Cap ex while keeping their reach in a world market (Ala JV's that give some promise of growth to DAL pilots when they can pay cash for jets, but not the high level of capex and burden of asinine debt load when the capex for that rapid growth remains and the markets are no long viable to operate?
Which means, you, I and the other 11,800 pilots are trading the rapid progression that other pilots on the list have seen to only see it taken away, for stability and the ability to keep your job in a down cycle.
Right or wrong, that seems to be the direction we have gone down, and to date, we have all stagnated, and the backwards movement that a down cycle normally brings has only effected about 5% of Capt's and 7% of FO's Historically that is significant.
