We seem to be the scapegoat of everything bad that is happening to the industry right now. I had a GoJet guy thank me for lowering the bar. We have been considered the enemy and its interesting how some think as if we get together and make these decisions ourselves. I also hear alot about our contract as if most of us really had anything to do with it. We went from a company similar in size to Colgan to where we are right now in just a matter of a few years. That contract was also one of the first non-concessionary contracts to be signed in after 9/11. Either way people need to realize it may not seem like anything is happening from the outside looking in but I assure you that things are being worked on to fix the deficiencys. Do I honestly believe we will get JetBlue rates? Probably not... But they will be a huge improvement to where they are right now and it won't be anything to be ashamed of.

I haven't spoken to or crossed paths with any of the YX pilots in person but from what I have heard they have been nothing but friendly, however I haven't seen that on the message boards but I hope the "vocal minority" may come into play. Makes it kinda tough to want to lend a hand and "take one for the older guys" regarding my QOL and seniority when everytime someone posts something on here it is nothing but insults and venom. But either way life goes on and we can't do anything but try to make it better.
