I understand why some of you guys especially at 9E are a little irritated at this thread. I do agree nothing is certain until it actually happens. Until then, it's just a rumor. I would have preferred if this thread could have started after the formal announcement of some sort has been made but we are all guilty of being impatient as well as being antsy. Things are simply just too fluid and uncertain so everyone is feeling a little insecure.

As for someone saying there are tools in every airline. Can't argue there. There are tools at XJ just like there are tools at 9E and at Compass. I have seen some arrogant low time new hires at XJ but that's the same at Compass and at 9E also. Someone said they don't say hi to you guys. Well, don't feel too bad because they don't say hi to me either. As for FOs wearing epaulets upside down, I have not seen anyone doing that but then I have not been to MEM lately so I don't know. Don't judge all XJ guys too harshly based on the conduct of few dipsticks.

Let's just hope things will improve for the airline industry. Otherwise, we will all be looking for a job elsewhere.
