I saw a rank and file group who spouted MY MEC SPEAKS FOR ME, walked the holding pattern while thumping their chest. For years they tried to hold CMR and later DAL as hostage. CMR pilot group fought management, dal management, alpa (think RJ defense coalition - ***, really).. While I worked there for a VERY long time, I don't blame DAL in the end for whatever the final straw or reason was. I now see many a post that now, a few years later, spouts that they didn't authorize the letter or JC didn't speak for me.. Well boys, and a few gals, you made your beds. It is really unfortunate that during a period of great opportunity for pilots to elevate themselves and their pay.. you have pretty much nuked yourselves. Flow through to PSA, and GOdaddyJet, now that is karma. Speaking of Soaper... remember the blow-up rat.. and Freddie "bi-polar" Buttrel... Aaaah, the good old days.

Ok, I feel better now. Only about 60 days till ham certificates come out.... that is if Karla hasn't eaten them all...

Must say, overall a great place to work. With PS just days away!! Just wish I would have slid over before I did! I see many an ex OH on the employee shuttle and trying to jumpseat outta CVG... I'm probably looking at you smiling all the while I'm shaking my head out of sadness for so many at PSA and GoJ having to shed the years of being a the top of one sector just to start over for what they can the few remaining years. Wish, for us all, that thing would have been different and that the flowthru that Endeavor now enjoys would have been what OH would have gotten 10 years or so if JC and those who so eagerly supported him would have done things different.

Flame away but remember how we all got to where we are today...
