But it’s so much nicer in the clouds than to accept this. They are so soft and puffy.
I’m not upset that it happened, but you can’t blur the facts. And with BM’s “willingness to sever relations” with the pilots, don’t think for a second that your not 1 bad quarterly earnings call away from it happening again. (10% cut). I’ve flown with the last guy not furloughed, the guys furloughed, and everything in between... and again, it’s a good job... but back to the OP, we are not in the same conversation as the Big 4, FX and UPS. Even JB and now Spirit have surpassed us.
