The amount of douchebaggery displayed by a lot of you guys is comical
(Yeah yeah, I've had plenty of douchey comments I know)
On the contrary, I'd say the LCCs are probably responsible for forcing the legacys to get their houses in order. The learned about fees and the fact that if they cut each others throats, a new LCC would step in and fill the vacuum.
Canoe has some interesting posts. He took a job at the lowest paying airline in the country and was about to crap his pants when the DOJ filed to stop the merger.
No pilot should look down upon another.
