Let's cut the chit. Stop making excuses for/championing the pseudo-scab outfit that is NAI and pretending like it doesn't have the potential to decimate many of the airline jobs in the States with quality T&Cs.
Ah, so if it works out best for you to take a job at a "pseudo-scab outfit" (one that had a ton of Eastern scabs), bottom feeder airline, with poor wages and benefits, then it is okay. But nobody else can do it. You know you always had the option of not taking the job. Back in 2001 and 2002 I sold cars instead of taking a job at Freedom Air. You could have held yourself to a higher standard and done something else instead of lowering the bar by taking that job. But no, you wanted to get yourself into the cockpit and took a job that undercut the wages and quality of life at the legacy airlines. Your pay at Air Tran directly contributed to Delta pilots taking a 30%+ pay cut in 2004 and you have the gall to get on here and lecture others about "decimating many of the airline jobs in the States with quality T&Cs". You need to take a good, honest look in the mirror before you cast stones in your glass house.
