Wheels,

Your attempt to flame Green Banana is misplaced. As far as I can tell he was asking a simple question without malice. Additionally, I don't recall anyone ever blaming Virgin for Alaska's problems. In truth, though we are fighting to restore our pay from the third party arbitrated pay cut, things are going very well at Alaska.

Just because we don't blame VA for our problems doesn't mean we have to respect a bunch of pilots who are willing to lower the bar in this industry. Shrinking to profitability has never worked in this industry and the fact that VA is shrinking its capacity so soon doesn't bode well for you. I also find it amusing that VA is attempting to move into many of Southwest's markets.

Start looking for a job in about a year. How's that for a flame?

Flame on.
