So, MG is meeting with 1224 now...wonder what triggered that? Increased exodus, the injunction maybe? Hopefully, some good will come of it. One can hope, you know. Yeah, I know...and shiite in the other hand and see which fills 1st

Nowadays, almost every pilot under the age of 40 is actively looking for other employment and every pilot under 30 is as good as gone within a couple of years.

I'm not saying there is anything wrong with older, more experienced people, but they are trying to stop the hemorrhaging of pilots to legacies and other LCC's. When I was hired, the perfect candidate was a mid-twenties 1900 or canyon pilot who came from a beat down and dejected carrier. This way, he or she wouldn't know what they were missing.

F&H might have given him the scenario. Round and round we will go, ultimately we will strike. How old is he anyways? Maybe he doesn’t want to go out with battle royale, for some reason.

In all fairness, MG didn't meet with 1224. He met with SM, which is what he's always done all the way back to the early aapag days. Don't expect anything to come out of this.

Exactly-have we learned nothing?! I think this is a HUGE step backwards, and I hope this isn't a sign of things to come.
