Why don't you run for a rep position and start pushing the agenda, I am sure you will be backed 100%.
I am tired of folks that have these great ideas, yet they don't want to do anything about it.
You talk a big game, but what are you doing to change the status quo.
If you are serious about how you feel, get with SACG and try to make a difference. Don't just p*** and moan on this board.
Lets work together and make a difference!
I cannot speak for Dutch, but I'd be happy to work together to make a difference. I'll wager you that I can change the status quo there at SAH. I'll be glad to run for a rep position and I
will push that exact agenda, if that is what the group wants

but I have yet to be offered a position at SAH or one of its new wholly owned subsidiaries

so the current members of the SACG are the ones that will have to plow that ground alone until I get there. When I do get there, do you and the rest of the group have the unity & guts to do what it takes to make it happen? If you do, super, let's get busy, if not, then everybody will have to just put up and take whatever Neff and the gang dole out, and I'll go back into retirement and update my resume, I'm sure someone else will call before long, there are way too many opportunities out there to endure that treatment for very long. A properly organized & motivated pilot group can change policy and priorities at a company the size of SAH in a matter of days if not hours. I saw it happen at Cargo 360, so with the proper unity it can happen at SAH.
For now, until we turn out the lights, the Cargo 360 guys have great airplanes to fly and freight to haul for a very happy customer, and we are being very well paid to do it. Works for me, I'm like most pilots, you can't buy my loyalty, but you can rent it, so for now I have no loyalty to SAH. Furthermore, I suspect you will see little public support from the Cargo 360 bubbas until after the job offers have been officially proffered. Ball is in SAH's court, and has been for some time. It's time for Neff to fish or cut bait.
