It was reported that many of these pilots were screaming they would pay for their own training and sleep on the RJ's to help reduce costs. Others were said to be folding up $100 bills into paper airplanes and attempting to fly them through the windows of the recruitment office. Someone said before it was broken up, at one point a certain Envoy ALPA rep arrived and began leading the pleading crowd in a hand-holding rendition of 'Kumbaya' wearing a tee-shirt that said "It's a good time to be an Envoy pilot" on the front and "The tide has turned" on the back.

The story told indicated quite a chaotic, but heart-warming scene.

Most of us know most of you didn't put me on ignore, just a handful of the usual suspects did. The usual suspects are easily identified. The most common trait is the expectation they have the right to control others. Since they failed at controlling what and how I post, they gave turned their demands toward you and what and how you post.

I do think it's probably a good idea not to quote this post as it would be very upsetting to them.
