So just because someone is an fo doesn't mean they are ignorant and have low time in the industry. I mean you were an fo once right?
That was only a person attack if it's untrue. So you're "one of those" who "might" have extraordinary experience? So out with it... qualify your position. Were you a former mainline captain? Are you retired from FDX? How long have you been at PCL. I bet big that I was 100% correct about you. Low time in the industry. I glean that from what you say.

That was under a different management. Again you speak of things you don't understand. SkyWest didn't make any changes ("hose out the GO") until after the contract was signed. The management team and management philosophy we have now is like apples to oranges. Kind of like your example.
Now you made a personal attack on me with the "I got mine comment", which is untrue. See, you do exactly what you accuse me of. I was a union representative. I spent 6 years as an FO. I spoke loudly against furloughing. I worked to get the furloughees financial relief through a private fund while ALPA wrapped them in red tape. What have YOU done for your pilot group?

You can have a part in it. You could talk to everyone who will listen and advocate action. Or you can sit around and wait for someone else to take a leadership role. It's up to you.
