It's been pretty amazing to watch the fear and misinformation from the pmASA side as well. Especially from the likes of your champions such as JoeMerchant and CaptainTony, etc.

I'll gladly take my spot flying at a legacy when and if this company goes down but till then seeing as I'm gonna be here for a while, I'm gonna strive to continue the fight for what we all as professional pilots deserve. EVERY DOLLAR WE CAN GET, and when we we do secure an industry leading contract for you again! Well, I would just rather you say thanks and enjoy the fruits of mine and everyone's lobar that puts up the good fight. You people are the reason were considered second class pilots and mocked by our peers. If you want to insure the company survives and i'm sure you do that sticker that says 'I Will Fly For Food" is right up your alley.
I personally wrote out a long rebutel based on this totally biased and uninformed quote. It took all my APC strength to not post it. Please don't act like the legacy ASA guys and gals are 10 years old. This quote sounds like it came from a 5th grader at best.

I did the exact same thing. Now I know why I've avoided from posting on APC all these years. Arguing with idiots is just frustrating and at the end of the day you have gotten no where. In response to his post, I didn't even know where to begin for a few minutes, the incompetency he radiates just makes me want to laugh and walk away from the computer... Im done here.

And in other news, some/all (no specifics) of our CR2 seaters are being refitted for extended over water operations. That's out of the mouths of our training department. Not sure if that would be for Delta or a possible AE ops on the Caribbean.

XJT is taking ASA's CRJ-200's when Delta tears up all the contracts to operate 15 flights a day from LAX-HNL, part of the 50 states thing...

Yelling at him/her is useless, they'll just brush the comment off and continue in an ignorant bliss.
