Number four, they have been doing nothing but pouring money into IT and numerous other issues. Doesn't sound like they want out to me.
Your pessimism and winning attitude sure as hell won't do anything productive for us here.
Well I don't really think that you have a clue what my attitude is like, but that's beside the point. I'm not complaining about anything...just stating my opinion on where I think the owners stand. That opinion happens to be shared by quite a few people other than just myself. If yours is different that's great. Nobody would like to see this place grow anymore than I would.
AWAC has had around 1000 pilots on the seniority list this decade. With this furlough we are down into the 600's. That's where my comment about cutting out almost half the pilots came from. And come on man...pouring money into IT??? How about investing all that money that they made on USAir stock into bigger airplanes? Nope...they spent that on their new investment in Hotels. I guess it's true that people only see what they want to see.
