Your grand illusion of where your place is in this large puzzle.
I never said anything other than front line employees generate revenue and interact directly with employees, and should therefore be taken good care of by the company. You inferred a whole lot that isn't there.
Edit to add: After rereading your post, who really has the big head here? I have a healthy appreciation for capitalism, and especially what Jerry worked to build here, but we are basically a light twin operator that rose from the ranks under competent management under favorable market conditions. If you haven't noticed, we no longer stand head and shoulders above our competition. There are no brain surgeons at Skywest, every employee contributes to make the thing work. Early on in this exchange, I said my job was nothing special. You seem to imply that SGU and our current management is some kind of brain trust. Almost makes me think you're one of the few that lectures pilots on the "big picture" when we make a due diligence call to try and keep our flights on time. Dunno though because you won't say where you work.
