What does this even mean? It would be a little weird if your brain was bigger than your head.

It's also nothing like GoJet, or any other TSH property for that matter.

These guys are just angry about pilot stuff.
Yeah, we're just mad about pilot stuff. You know; pay, benefits, career progression, dishonest "leadership", big new routes to Nantucket and utterly WASTED POTENTIAL!

While the rest of your points are valid, picking on ACK is likely not. I've been told several times by people who would know that the "island flying" to ACK, MVY, and HYA make more money for us during the summer than any other city.

Um.... Great for JB management and more stock buybacks. Won't really do anything for my career "expectations". Maybe after Delta serves 2/3 of Western Europe from Boston will get real brave and add a 10th departure bank to SDQ.

You really came to APC for positivity?

And most likely SDQ makes a bunch of money. You need money making stations to help build others. It may not be what we what but you go where the profits are and use those to build others. Yeah yeah I know one day and the growth is slow

Normally I would understand and even agree with you. However the airline has been extremely profitable, yet we've slowed growth and generally stopped investing in the actual airline. Our large profits have gone towards billion dollar stock buybacks, tech ventures, hotels and executive comp. Even our profit sharing has been gutted.

So no, I have no faith that additional profits will actually be used to improve my career, from experience.
