I'll tell you this. I'll tell everyone this. Regardless if I get furloughed or not. I will never, NEVER turn my back on any of our pilots regardless of how junior they are. And regardless of how senior I am. I'll remember what I'm going through right now and how it feels for the rest of my life. I'll break my back to spare anyone else from having to go through this.
My thoughts exactly. This whole experience with a looming furlough has changed the way I think. I’m in a good position to weather this, but I can’t imagine having kids and a mortgage, college payments etc. I feel for these guys. I come from an airline family and I understand many guys have been through the ringer, but to go through any type of hardship and come away thinking that it’s some type of right of passage and to feel no sympathy is pathetic.
I think the new cadre will be better human beings.
