If we're going to ***** and moan about company stuff, lets make it count. Whoever is the guy or girl sitting in the cubicle on the 4th floor on Virginia Avenue is some really trivial stuff guys. I wager that 99% of us will never know them or even care. That's what I'm saying.

I'd be saying exactly the same thing if some fNWA 747 captain was now the fleet captain on the 73N. IT DOESN'T MEAN DIDDLY! In fact, I don't even know who my guy is. That's how much it matters in the grand scheme of things. Won't affect my life, won't affect yours and won't affect how Delta does business.

And stop dissing the Amish...they make great pies.

They might look like poor and stupid, but trust me, they've got more money than you could ever imagine.

Now please pass me the Chicken Corn Chowder ...

The irony is that you rant and rave against FNWA management and the need to constantly grieve to "keep them in line". Now there are some changes to those very same managers and you are livid that the "bad boys" are leaving and won't be in a position make you grieve.

This makes my head hurt.

No. That was upper management. The guys we're forcing out now are the ones who fought for pilots.

We can all justify our actions when we want to, but the bottom line is, men of integrity don't intentionally cheat the company, or their fellow pilots. Call me a boy scout, that's OK. But you can't argue the facts.
