No, people like YOU , and many people in this thread and on this forum, are making this industry the way it is.

Playing a victim. Blaming others for the crappy circumstances surrounding yoru employment Taking no responsibility for your own actions or your own situation. Refusing to see any upside to what admittedly is a crappy situation. Grasping at straws and jumping to conclusions that neither labor law, past practice, or pilot contracts support. Regurgitating revisionist history that fits your ignorant and biased view of reality. Generally acting like *****y schoolgirls instead of professionals.

As an outsider, I can evaluate the situation with a little bit of objectivity that you and 99% of other posters severely lack.

But if you want to think I have no pride and am contributing to the decline of the airline industry (as a corporate pilot who chaired one ALPA committee and served another at Air Wisconsin), then knock yourself out bud.

Again, if you chose voluntary unemployment instead of working within the system in conjunction with the RAH pilot group for the best possible outcome of this mess for you and all F9/MEH pilots, that is your prerogative. I happen to think it'd be stupidly prideful and a sign of resignation about one's destiny given the current economic situation...but if that's the path YOU choose, best of luck. You'll need it.
