That's not to say the writing isn't on the wall for this place though. It's definitely been there for a while. Not to mention this thread reeks of the Comair thread that ran about 3,000 pages before the company finally shut it's doors. Anybody else notice that?
See that light at the end of the tunnel? It's the train. But you guys go right on thinking it's the end of the tunnel with pots of gold waiting for you.
You all can rationalize this all you want if it makes you feel better. Considering the massive attrition we're seeing, and what's expected in the future, them scaling down the ERJ training department is a very bad sign for LXJT pilots. Notice no such announcement came out on the CRJ side. You guys are about to park a lot more airplanes than previously announced because the SKW BOD is not impressed with our finances, and your MECs attempts to stall the JCBA and SLI. Now, unfortunately, it's the line pilots who will pay the price, not the ones who created the problem.
