What I am irritated at is the salivation by the vultures on this board who seem to have no regard for others lives or families at the expense of a seniority number. Flying moves around. It happens. Show some respect is all I ask.
History, it's a funny thing. You can't ignore it. The reason why we are at, where we are at, is in part because of what RAH did to XJT, as well as others regionals affecting other established regoinals (ACA, Comair, Eagle, Horizon, etc. all being attacked in the race to go cheaper).
To get upset that similar circumstances are now happening at RAH is just pure comedy.
The reason why it is happening is because RAH was in large part, responsible for setting this all in motion. Wake up.

Aquaticus, this is not directed at you. I also realize this is likely falling on many deaf ears.
No excuse. Good people lost their livelihoods and lives during XJT furlough. Some of them would not have been doing what they were doing when they died had it not been for the furlough (at least one died during a construction accident that he would not have been doing otherwise). Divorces led on by the financial struggles and I believe at least one suicide as well.
So when you complain about others "stealing" "your flying", put all of this in context when you wonder why some of them may not be feeling the sympathy for you, that you think you deserve.
