They played the old song and dance and told him it was great until it was time to shell out the money, even though Rich Dews had found everything they needed at a huge discount.
I didn't see a single captain move on to a better job while I was there. It is good to hear that some are now. They deserve better. Every pilot at Big Sky deserves better (well, almost every pilot).
Good luck with that commute. Just remember, CASS is right around the corner.
I heard from a reliable source present in a meeting between mgmnt and union reps that our CP told Fred that without CASS pilots would leave and it would be required in order to attract new pilots. Not dissing on our JS coordinator but apparently it was joint pressure from RM, the CP and the union. Btw., CASS is expected to be fully approved this week. It will make my and other commuters life so much easier.
