This is a very radical statement. This is like someone wishing for the Bush (democrats) or Obama (republicans) administration to fail just to prove a point that they don't like what they are doing. The logical end of that failure would be a failure of the entire government. This really makes no sense unless I guess they are anarchists.

I pose this question to you, would you really like to see 75% of your fellow pilots laid off? The answer (I am assuming here) is no and neither would I nor the majority of reasonable individuals. Comments such as these do little more than infuriate and inflame; that was probably your intent I know. However, they offer zero contribution to solving any problems.

I personally do not wish to see anyone lose their jobs. The loss of a job affects a person. A person that may have children, a wife, a mortgage, etc. You probably have seen this first hand and realize the pain and suffering it causes. I understand your frustration but wishing the job loss of 1,552 pilots (give or take) would mean a lot of potential damage to those that depend on them.

My point is this, society is already a swirling cesspool spiraling deeper and deeper into the oblivion. We as pilots are less than 1% of the population. Let's try to keep our heads up and out of the sewer around us.

Happy Memorial Day and God Bless our Troops!
