I just passed the 1 year mark and will absolutely be voting no on concessions.

Pretty sure it was just a standard business decision and not deaths that caused Colgan to go away.

The airport environment if you will.

I haven’t kept up, there been a final report on that?

Thanks for laugh.

”jacburn” laid it out pretty good.

If the pilots don't get to share in the profits, then why should they share in the losses?

We are employees, not investors.

No. I will tell you that the ILS and the airport itself played a major role in this accident.

John, do you want to explain to the pilots left at XJT where the cabin trainer and FTD #1 came from? Something about glass houses.

Did the ILS lead them to terrain that was higher than the MSL DA?

Because they’d rather pay you the least amount possible as they know you’re replaceable.

The fact that they hire pilots like Cabo Killer and ones that have been forced to resign from XJT for other "issues" might have played a role in it too.

Vote NO
Exactly. They need to put this place out of its misery. People got way to comfortable here never moving on, leading to the problem we’ll be having now in survival mode.

Interesting.

Also interesting.

Was more curious about the human (and technical as you seem to vaguely allude to) factors of the how/what/why.

And shouldn't you be no longer left at C5?
