Really? How about the 1400 flights per day and all of the paying passengers we bring in to sit in the back of your airplanes so you earn a salary. If your being sarcastic, pardon my lack of humor it was a 0400 start today in order to fly passengers, along with a divert so they could fly on American jets. Don't forget we serve the same empire. Other than these thoughts...nice post, I enjoyed your humor, don't quit your day job though.
Your feelings are understandable Vyper. It can be hard to remain patient in the regionals, but they do create jobs that otherwise would have never existed. The outsourcing/loss of mainline jobs was certainly a benefit for me when I graduated from college!!!
The original flow through and seniority numbers given to AE were not negotiated because AE held any entitlement. The US government forced APA to give jet aircraft to Eagle. This may explain some animosity between APA and AE.
APA may respond to an incentive before an entitlement.
