This is a business we work for, and as such, all is fair which affects the bottom line. As long as I have been in this business as an employee, it has always amused me to no end when pilots think they are part of, or in the LOOP. We are not. We are a contract. We have faces and names, but we are in no way in the strategic operation of this business. My wife was a Sr. Financial Analyst at a large purple company and presented "Outlook Information" to the CFO and CEO each week. When investors sued the purple company for missing projections, guess who ended up deposed in legal proceedings?
This is a great place to opine, reflect, share information that may help us make informed decisions regarding our careers. I am and was saying be cautious of what you say on this open forum. If you would not sign your name and reputation to your comment, don't hit send. When you hit send, you are signing your name. And if anyone thinks I am trying to stop debate, you couldn't be further from the truth. You are my fellow professionals in the careers we have devoted our working lives to. I welcome all your comments, I may have a little trouble deciphering pidgin english now and then, but what I was and am saying is that please consider the consequences of someone without your best interest at heart reading what you post.
And Viking, lighten up on Favre, it was a run that never would have happened without him.

Best Wishes

American swallowed it's war chest and then some over loose comments. On some server in a closet somewhere sits every comment, every IP address, every name easily matched up to an employee. You guys are radioactive. I can't make it any clearer than that.

Seen a former NWA mechanic lately? Now they are doing what they do best in Atlanta, and this forum is a petri dish. I could care less about what happens to some putz venting or anonymously dumping on me, but boy do some of you have a lesson you are going to learn.
