Its just business.
Thank you SO MUCH for posting this. In speaking with other Expressjet folks I had the impression that our guys were arrogant and disrespectful towards your MEC. It's really good to hear that not everybody felt that way, because I have a good deal of respect for JA and I'd hate to think that he was a dick to you all.
And thanks for having the balls to do what was best for your pilot group (and ours, as well)--I hope things either pick up for you or SKW comes back with a much better offer.
