Just how naive are you FlyingA320? Do you really think your fellow aviators share your rose colored views of this sham airline?

Signing the petition will not make a difference whether you are for or against VA back door cabotaging in America. The DOT has closed the request for submissions.

Link: www.dot.gov Docket OST-2005-23307, see for yourself.

The decsion will come down in a few weeks.

I can assure you that there are a few thousand sidelined pilots and a few thousand more current regional captains who would eagerly apply to VA.

There just isn't enough room for everyone at FedEx.

A320- Are you nuts?? Let me get you some more Fred Reid/Richard Branson flavored koolaid! Ooops- does it taste like Lorenzo flavor? Easy mistake to make.

Kupe, what A320 doesn't understand is that it is back door cabotage. In the papers it says they want to code share with all Virgin Group airlines and with any one else. According to the docket posted today with the DOT. VA still have a few more hurdles to jump. The DOT is taking objections and any one can submit.

www.dot.gov Docket number 23307. March 20, 2007. It's worth reading.

I wonder what A320 will do when he gets his arse in a sling...no union. Fred Reid certainly won't care, neither will Branson because they don't have to!

My, aren't we sensitive tonight.

BTW, you misspelled 'appreciate' and I think you meant to say 'stuff' and not 'staff'. I knew you would want to know. However, I refuse to correct any spelling/grammar mistakes on any of your job apps. You are on your own.

Your freind,
PaintCan

Oops, it looks like Virgin met the US requirements and has got his approval.

I am not a big Branson fan as you will see from my Blog entry and others near it. Sorry about the plug, the post contains links. if you feel able to make comment please do so, I have a number of readers worldwide who would be very interested to hear your views.

You have my sympathies ladies and gents, he will start off gently and then pick up the pace.
