And for that your job was threatened? I got the part about you wrote a letter and got called in to the CEO's office. You explanation failed to mention any part about how you were
PERSONALLY THREATENED. I wouldn't think having a "personal chat" in and of itself would be
PERSONALLY THREATENING to you. Surely there is something more, eh?

The last time I wrote a letter stating the rest seat change on the ER was a clear statement by Delta they were willing to trade revenue for safety. Another Atlanta invite.
And? Were you "threatened" there too? Plenty of pilots have written letters to management and the CEO. I've never heard any of them describe their actions as taking "guts."
