Glad to hear it, most of us are trying to change and improve things for the better. I guess with you it' just a matter of "I can say it, but you can't" or something.. I completely understand. At least we both have the same objective which is to make our company better. As for helping pilots already here, I hear you on that too... I am chairman of a committee directly part of our Section 6 efforts.
As for the next bid... yes, sure we can likely still have new hires... in a game of hopes, I prefer to lower mine and be pleasantly surprised. The words "Cancelled" block horus doesn't give me the warm and fuzzy for more pilots, but hey.... i could be wrong, and I certainly hope I am.
Either way, I want to apologize on my part for anyone who wasted time, money, and possibly put their current job at risk to come out and interview if we do infact not hire those 14, or 10 I guess...
