It's not about terminology, it's representative of a mindset that is unacceptable, IMO, if we are going to demand accountability and be taken seriously as a pilot group.
I wouldn't give a s#%t about what he does in his cockpit except that when he is put in a position to explain it (it being ANYTHING outside approved guidance) it hurt's the CREDIBILITY of the entire pilot group and weaken's our argument. Like it or not that is the reality of the situation.
I guess having left and "risen above the fray" you now feel entitled to be condescending and arrogant. Wow! That is unfortunate.
My apologies if my comments were taken as arrogant or condescending. Not my intention to offend. I have nothing to be proud of. Although I'm happy where I'm at, like every decision, there are drawbacks. In many ways I miss the old G4. What many who have left will say is that they miss the family, friendly atmosphere and being home every night. However, there are many things I don't miss and for the sake of many dear friends still working there, I hope you guys can remain united and focused on making it a place it could be. Don't let petty arguments and differences split up the uniquely cohesive pilot group you have worked so hard to become.
We all thought it had the potential of being the best gig in the business. The sense of loss because things went south is why so much emotion is felt on this thread.
That was my only point, to not lose sight of the prize and allow the actions of management to derail what appears to be solid progress.
Best wishes.
