Also a pilot should be on line for at least a year before being eligible to vote.
The SAPA president went to all the new hire classes and did the hard sell.
It's time for change!
Seriously? Nothing will change here...EVER. And no one cares.
Focus on GTFO of here. Keep moving up. That right there constitutes our change.
Investing in changing a regional is like altering a mountainside into a pristine, robust city - it'll take a lot of resources and expense achieving that. Moving up and out to a better air carrier on the other hand is like traversing around the mountain range to reach the glistening city on the other side of the mountain next to the resource-rich river bank which has already been constructed and has a great, proven standard of living. Don't waste time on developing a mountain side. Circumnavigate it and head straight to the already established city on the leeward side on the shiny river bank.
