I try to not include the Comair guys who were hired there after that period, FWIW--
"we heard nothing"
How would you hear? Jumpseats? Web board threads? Trick them into thinking you are Wilson Polling? There were plenty of pilots who were surprised by JC's missive and plenty who thought it was a bad idea.
We might talk to each other, but how often would we (you and I) engage another airline's jumpseater with a "hey our MEC Chair stinks" type conversation? Most of us keep jump seat chatter very polite.
You also assume the average Comair guy was even aware of the letter. Certainly awareness was much higher on the Delta side than the Comair side.
I'm just curious how do you know these things and objectively quantify them?
