I beg to disagree with you. I have worked for several airlines and been hired at 2 majors. Spirit is a very unique case, and a very classless company. I feel really bad for all the good pilots/people at spirit and around the industry. I decided about a year ago that I needed to find a way to bring the issues good competent pilots face to the forefront of public debate. Over the past year I have been working with a well known publisher in writing a book bringing a realistic and somewhat painful reality about the airlines, and how they really work. The book is almost done, but I am currently working through legal issues with my attorney. I did not leave anything out including employee names, company names, flight releases, mx reports, ect, all of these have created significant legal issues. The only stuff that will be confidential is the identities of pilots who provided me additional information. My hope is to inform the public, and hopefully force this industry down another path, a path that airline pilots deserve. Its also important that we stand up for our fallen Colgan friends. Although we don't know the full story as of yet, we all realize that there were many factors that led to the two pilots being in that situation. As a former regional pilot, we all learned most on our own, or from fellow pilots. I know by experience that I did not get the same level of training at the regional as I did at the majors. Discount is discount, you get what you pay for. Well I am getting off topic. My points about Spirit will be well addressed in my book, so I hope you buy it once it hits the shelves.
