nicely put. i also have to agree with the flight instructors that have vowed to avoid the "plague" as another mainline explained the low-cost undercutting regional carriers. it makes me very happy to know that word is really getting around at little airports all over to avoid these places (mesa, gojet, ec.) because they have done nothing good for the industry but destroy it. i know the thought of a quick ugrade and move to a "major" might seem alluring, but it is hurting everyone long term. i'm really happy that you flight indtructor folks are staying informed. keep it up. it's people like you that are "one day" going to bring the industry back to where it should be. for those of you that "still" defend your poor decision making...we all will live with it...but please stop trying to defend it or act like some kind of respect is due to you.
