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.
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.
Where did I complain about others "stealing" "our flying"? I said I was not around then, and that I have not been part of these vultures try to capitalize on a company going through a difficult time. You seem to be taking that quite personally. I have said it before and I suppose I will again. Flying moves around. None of it is owned at the regional level. A little compassion goes a long way. I cannot and will not answer for those that paraded for flying lost at XJT. I think that is just as wrong.
