That being said one that is sad for me was that we actually had a Captain Retire after 30 years. The guy was awesome! Didn't bend metal, ran a great cockpit, was even a check airman! Even was involved in making Piedmont one of the better paying airlines in the industry during the time it was a few days from striking. Safely for 30 years he flew for Piedmont! Blood, sweat and tears!!!!
He retired a few weeks ago and he didn't get a call, a letter, a thank you for your service! He got nothing at all! How can that happen?
It can happen because we are all just a cog in the wheel of the massive machine that is AAG now. Its like that in most giant mega-corps though. It isn't strictly the airlines. At the end of the day, management doesn't give a hoot about its workers, only its share holders. Sad but true.
