SD with his statement that we could start the hiring process as early as 4th qtr 2012 also raised false hopes. I've been around long enough to know that a statement like that means nothing. Starting the hiring process could have started 1st qtr 2013 when they hired Cal to be the head of pilot hiring, that's the first step in the hiring process right ?
I have no problem with the no voters on 2012, they looked at the TA and deemed it wasn't worthy. I have a little problem with yes voters who say they were duped, either they are simpletons or they didn't do there homework, both of which are scary traits in a pilot. Buyers remorse is ok, it's easy to look back and say we should have done better.
