We are on a collision course with reality in this industry. There will be winners and losers. They growth powerpoint you probably got in indoc will only materialize if it comes from existing legacy capacity. I hope that doesn't happen. I appreciate your cockeyed optimism (if thats what it is) thinking we can all grow into infinnity and beyond with no consequence, but I disagree with the premise on the grounds of the reality of the marketplace.
Not sure of your background either, and it really doesn't matter, other than to urge you to shy away from ad hominem arguements to bolster your position. I assure you there are plenty of military and civilian pilots who agree and disagree with both of us.
Not an ad hominem attack as much as me trying to understand why you have the opinion you do. I would argue that a guy who goes form being a cfi to a regional to Delta might have a different prespective on the industry than one who went from the military straight to Delta(there is NOTHING wrong with either way) it just tends to shape ones opinions.
So please understand that I was no attacking you or the way you made it to your airline.
