I am flying a navajo and getting 28,000 a year to start.
You started in a jet at 17,000 a year.
But once again HERO...thanks for raising the bar.[/QUOTE]

Here's the deal... I want to apologize to all the 9E pilots who have been here and plan on being here, tried to stay here, etc. I consider myself a scab at this point. If I knew how I was going to feel about myself and how I've affected the ENTIRE industry things would be very different. The problem is that I never considered what everyone else was trying to do in life. All I could think about is "get that PIC jet time and get out"... Now that the upgrade time has been stretched considerably (not pointing fingers, but just saying from what I thought to what is reality) now I get plenty of time to sit back and think about exactly what I have done to my future, my family, my friends, but MOST AFFECTED my fellow pilots NOT JUST at 9E but across the board.... You can thank me for signing up when no one else would... You can thank me for staying through training and not leaving, even though I had a really bad gut feeling about this place (and the regional world).

So with that, I want to take the time to apologize to everyone in aviation for beign a scab and not refusing "the assignment" of accepting the first offer that came across the table.

No I won't proof read, and no I won't edit this one!!!!
