When someone breaks into your house, steals your stuff and then the police catches the thief, are you rejoicing over the return of your property or the thief's "misfortune"? You will be hard pressed to find an envoy pilot who rejoices over the demise of another pilot's career (PSA pilots excluded). There is a fine line between rejoicing over your own good fortune and gloating over the misfortune of others. Many learn this lesson on the playing field while playing youth sports. It's OK to be happy you won but before you celebrate, you meet your rival face to face, congratulate them on a game well played and honor them as a worthy competitor. The gratuitous gloating and poor "sportsmanship" displayed by so many PSA pilots over the last few years is not even worthy of comparison with the glimmers of joy demonstrated by envoy pilots after having been subjected to years of brutality for your benediction. Happy at the demise of RAH, NO, relieved that just maybe the 4 years of stagnation and beatings might come to an end, yes. Your comments, wakewash, can be likened to you standing outside a battered woman's shelter throwing rocks and insults at the poor woman leaving the facility. An action, I guess, I have come to expect from your "type".


Every new, junior pilot at any airline is going to be subjected to the least desirable schedules. Name me on regional carrier who would not require their junior pilots to be on an early call. Its part of the business. I used to think envoy had some pretty bad schedules until I started looking at the sequences of the other regionals. I was floored about how many uncommutable lines most regionals have. We could be better but we are far from the worst (and improving).
