As I said before, never trust Corporate "projections." If they were all true, jetBlue would have over 200 Airbus' by now.
And there are several other airlines I could name that blew sunshine up the skirt of new hires, telling them they'd be Captains in 2 years.
Then along comes $110 bbl oil and a change to the retirement regulatory age. Suddenly, airlines are parking jets, putting out displacement bids and furloughing.
That's the nature of the aviation beast. Just as its always been.

You'd be doing nothing more than showing support for the kinds of pilots that are helping put you on the street.

Not many outsiders know the lil tidbit about the med and sim check failures unless they have been there and done that.

because spirits pay is just right?
All you guys do is complain, and when your company goes down you'll turn around and say "eh, BS air aint that bad"
...
Point is when the family needs to eat you'll go anywhere.
