Okay, this guy clearly doesn't understand how this works but I'm not a dick so.... here's your briefing card.

Clearly that mentality is very prevalent, and is probably a big reason why you think this move is even a remotely okay thing to do. Getting the JS is a given in your mind, so taking it away from a commuting pilot isn't a big deal to you.

You just walked into the church and took a leak in the holy water while the preachers watch in horror. Think they're going to forget about that in a couple months when you're competing with an F18 driver for a job? Even if they aren't compiling a list (I'd be surprised if they weren't) the first thing that will come to mind when they read your resume is this fiasco you created. Good luck.

You guys are going to get what you deserve. Kind of funny that you don't realize it, but remember this moment when the firetrucks give you the hose down on your final e175 flight. You deserve it.

If there's a positive in all this, at least your SJS lead you to the regional with the nicest jets!
