Just reading all of the press clippings. Holy cow! Instead of fighting their pilots, g4 should be bending over backwards to thank and reward their pilots for saving their bacon day after day.

This is helping to fuel the mass exodus of pilots. Most have waited patiently for management to grow a conscience. They're done waiting.

Agreed 100%. Its ONLY the pilots keeping G4 from scattering smoking holes all over the landscape.

I am absolutely amazed that the FAA hasn't stepped in and done something about the MX issues. With that size of fleet, there shouldn't be nearly this many turn backs, gate returns and cancellations.
Props to the pilot group for keeping the passengers safe even if they have no idea what they are getting themselves into.
I wonder if before the valujet incident there was a run up in returns and failures. I pray this is not a replay of that situation.

The Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) Atlanta field office sent a memo on February 14, 1996, to Washington, D.C., stating that "consideration should be given to an immediate FAR-121 re-certification of this airline" - in other words, the FAA wanted ValuJet grounded. ValuJet airplanes made 15 emergency landings in 1994, 57 in 1995, and 57 from January through May 1996. In February the FAA ordered ValuJet to seek approval before adding any new aircraft or cities to their network, something the industry had not seen since deregulation in 1979. This attempt at removing ValuJet's certification was "lost in the maze at FAA" according to NTSB Chairman Jim Hall.By this time, ValuJet's accident rate was not only one of the highest in the low-fare sector, but was more than 14 times that of the legacy airlines."
Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
