Maybe I'm crazy, but I don't think I'm the only one. I'm tired of everyone whining about this and that...."Skywest sucks, Alpa rules, RJ's are Satan's gift to aviation, everyone go on strike to boycott oil prices, whatever. Listen, from my perspective (again, maybe it's only me) we are all in this crapper of a time together. Time has shown that the economy will go up and down, jobs and fortunes will be created, lost and transferred. That's life. Let's do our jobs with professionalism and dignity. Things will get better (but the best advice I ever got was to get an education and make sure to have a skill to do besides flying). I'll shut up now.
true in our industry and along with several other industries as well. theres some industries out there that are a lot worse off than ours. for example, in my hometown there's a gm plant that builds 10 mpg chev suburbans and tahoes. they nixed one shift and theres talk about closing down the whole plant because no one is buying these cars. theres several other companies in the area that supplement the gm plant such as lear corp which makes dashboards and other plastic parts. they just laid off several people........ripple effect continues. that is just one example. hopefully it will all turn around.

Especially the ones who vote to relax scope then whine that their flying is being stolen by the regionals.

The exact response I expected to hear.
My point then is why would you bash someone in the position that you someday hope to be. IF/When you get to the other side you will be just as p!$$@3 that decisions made prior to you getting there might affect your job security. Hindsight being 20/20 some groups never thought it would go so far.

Well, when/if that time comes, we'll see what my attitude is. As for now, I show up at work in a good mood, enjoy my job and the people I work with, and am nowhere near ashamed to say I love working at SkyWest Airlines.
With that, I am done on these forums.
