Thanks.
Thanks.
Well from the tone of your other post it seemed otherwise. We're all in this together.

Do you want to work for NAI? Are you even a pilot? If so, who do you work for and why do you spend so much time day in and day out defending the likes of NAI which only serves to degrade the pilot profession globally? What say you about SAS mimicking NAI's idea in Ireland and please explain why they would want to pick that particular country to start an ULCC? Please properly introduce yourself and explain why this is so important to you along with your angle and perhaps people can better understand why you feel the way you do. I'm positive just about anyone here would gladly tell you who they work for and why the feel the way they do. If you can't do the same, you have zero credibility.
I'm sure the Lorenzo's and Kjos' of the world applaud your tireless efforts.

I don't agree with your statement that NEDude is an NAI cheerleader. He seems to me to be pretty level-headed about it. His arguments may be different than yours but they are well thought out. I appreciate his insight from the European side of the equation.

I agree his points are fairly level headed but, I don't see anyone more invested in speaking in behalf of NAI than him. Maybe one day he can enlighten us all on who he works for and demonstrate how it caused upward pressure on his pilot wages. I'd just like to hear his full story and why he talks about little other than NAI.

Well, everybody thought Trump would pull the permit, guess not.
His buddies at Boeing said no, don't do it.
Republicans in general have not been good to pilots, they did not lift a finger when Pan-Am when down the drain, and all those conservative pilots had been voting GOP for years, sorry dudes.
Obama stalled the approval for 2 years, but finally had to approve it.
Done deal for good, especially now with Trump's blessings.
Not sure NAI will take over the world, they have a market, like JetBlue and Southwest, but NAI swore up and down they would not use Asian c-scale crews for the US flights.
With a growing pilot shortage NAI will have to rise the pay to get competent crews and to compete with US Majors, Emirates and similar "direct entry" jobs.
In good times a rising tide will float all boats.
Just to be clear, I am not a fan of outsourcing and not a fan of out-flagging, but it seems to be the future. Pretty much like the automotive and other global industries. (Lots of BMWs are made in the US, probably not with the German autoworkera dancing the happy-dance)
Cheap labor rules, as long as NAI are not breaking any laws, and the employees not crossing any picket lines, we might as well get used to it.
Thanks for nothing Donald Trump.

I don't want my neighbors to think I only make $300K and have to work 2 weeks!

My point is Trump supporters are naively championing him as a jobs Messiah. Republicans have been and always will be the party of big business.
