Frontier

The Hawaiian operation
US Airways

It would make absolutely no sense if he did.

I wish I could read BB's mind. We don't cancellation pay at all? I've only had two flights get canceled since I've been here and I was paid for both. There are other things we have other's don't.

As far as his investments go RAH needed Midwest to stay in business till June to make their money back. So that turned out ok. I don't think anyway has any idea what's going on with Mokulele. US Airways investments have paid themselves off time and time again.

Skywest found a better home for them. Up until now Skywest was just flying them for midwest to keep those a/c working and waiting for something better to come around, well they have found it.

More united flying, RAH is taking out all 9 of their ual erj 145s.
After midwest went down the way they did the plan was to find a better home for these aircraft. Its no secret that midwest hasn't paid their contracts to many of their contracted people. But it was better to keep them flying and keep from letting people go rather than park them and furlough 200 people.

The economy is not stabilizing. Oil is skyrocketing which will cause inflation to skyrocket. It will make things 1000 times worse than it is now. The entire economy will eventually collapse. We are past the point of no return. Our government has gotten out of control. We need to bankrupt and restructure our entire government kind of like what is happening to every other industry. The government employees are making a lot more than market wages these days.

I really hope you are correct here. I hope this h%ll hole of an airline burns to the ground. Yea, Ill be out of a job but I will throw a huge party. This place is horrible. Bryan Bedford is horrible. God bless this and God bless that is all we hear from this jerk. Actions speak a h%ll of a lot louder than words though. Surprising a God fearing family man like him can screw over such a huge amount of people and families industry wide. What does he care though, he and his upper management a-hole buddies are bankin on all of this. What a hypocrite p.o.s.


hyp-o-crite

noun

1.
a person who pretends to have virtues, moral or religious beliefs, principles, etc., that he or she does not actually possess, esp. a person whose actions belie stated beliefs.

2.
a person who feigns some desirable or publicly approved attitude, esp. one whose private life, opinions, or statements belie his or her public statements.

This is an exact description of BB.
