I'm not defending what management said back in 2011.
I'm saying that they need to hire 500 guys NOW, in 2015, to properly man the airline.
And I am also saying that I don't think they can do it with our current contract situation. Guys talk to their buddies, and get the scoop.
And everyone I know is telling their buddies to go to Delta or American.
FedEx had their time, but it is now time to stand tall or limp away.
Either stand tall with a decent pilot contract or limp away in the background....
