VX is a rathole (in more ways than one!) and even Sir Dick can't shovel cash into it forever. If you go to work there, better keep your resume up to date and handy.

So a guy tries to warn some guys about your new CFO and you thank him by trash talking his airline? So break down your roots for us prior to Virgin, eh? Where was that? Mesa? Let me tell ya wow! You are special! Mesa pilots bashing Pinnacle pilots as the bottom feeders....you can shove that right it your can amigo.

Well, Peter Hunt may have been bad for pinnacle crews. But you can't argue his success as a CFO. He organized a successful ipo of express one, oversaw the massive crj orders that they received and tricked northwest into paying for, he then protected the large majority of its flying through the buyout of colgan and mesaba, then he came to virgin and negotiated a line of credit of $150m. More than we've ever had access to. He might be a ***** to work for. Although he has been very quiet since he has been here. He did sign a check to buy all the line guys and girls a $100 gift cert for a the holiday season. So I don't know what to think. Maybe I'll reserve judgement for awhile.

That's what 3.5 mil that he sucked out of pin/colgan group allows you to do as an individual. Plus $100 gift card is for the KY that Virgin crews are going to need, yeah $100 should be enough for the f@#$ing they are about to recieve from Peter.

Dude are you serious? You are the reason the whole airline industry is in the tank. Now fish bashes VA but it is a start up and thats the way they work. Has for the last 28 years I have worked in this screwed up industry.

But your type of thinking or just what you said in this statement shows your ignorance.
