Big picture I guess it doesn't mean anything other than a whole bunch of us have paid dearly for the mismanagement and outright abuses of the Tilton era. I can only hope that we are turning a corner in the right direction this time. I don't have to many more smacks in the face or kicks to the balls left in me.
There was not much that was done to you that wasn't MR. E170 aside, and that is a whole other topic, most of your pain was handed to you by your MEC at various stages of the process. You kicked yourself in the junk, in other words by the majority of the pilots voting for it.
Right, wrong, or indifferent, that is the fact.
Sure, parking the Guppys led to the current furlough. Who gave the company the latitude in scope to achieve that "right sizing" in relation to block hour relaxation......look in the mirror. And, that was not meant as an attack. It is the reality that exists. Nothing else.
