Sounds like the box carriers have reached the airline pilot's reality, many airlines it is a way of life, min days off, min rest periods, training on days off, drafting on a daily basis, ...and the slide continues, the more I try to get back into the business, the more disturbed I become of what the business is becoming.

Never should a company fail, or do poorly and the upper management walk away enriched by the experience.
