Now I'm not saying that there aren't the usual gripes about schedules, time off, benefits, bonehead policies, etc. but you will find that at any company. I think its a tendency of pilots not to be content but to always be seaking better.
I wouldn't confuse that respect from management with the fact that ream doesn't get along with CAL management. Is he still offering to help pilots back their stuff when they leave. That one was classic.
Is expressjet still not allowing gojets a ride in the jumpseat or did that go by the wayside?
