ok tell me how? i understand youre removing a bottom feeder from the industry, but theyve essentially not been a big competitor for new contracts (except for the DAL contract) for a while now, so how are things going to improve?

well for one, maybe companies will realize that if you treat your pilot group like shiit and run your mx like they do................your going to loose money

I still dont see that. Management isnt going to all of a sudden have compassion for their crews. ASA treats its pilots horribly and theyre one of the most profitable airlines. Besides, competition is still going to be fierce, thats not going to let up. its going to get worse actually

Hey, what can I say, im a "glass half full" type of guy.................but then again
I managed to get sunday off so my journey to Itlaly starts a day earlier, so Im just very happy............... and Im listening to "BROWN EYED WOMEN"........................great great Grateful Dead song:rolleyes:

maybe the glass is just twice as big as it needs to be...

haha. hey im optimistic too, about majors and what not, but not so much about regionals because that will always be what it is. have fun in italy man, any chance of riding first class?

nah I wish, its booked full then there is a list of like ten 81' hires before me:o

Don't you work for Colgan or Pinnacle, if that is the case you have no room to speak...

The bottle was dusty, but the liquor was clean. . .

Yes. Might take some time. But herds become stronger when the weak are cut lose.
