there's a big difference in sarcasm and some little punk saying "you suck thanks for ruining my 2 year upgrade and pay you should have put yourself out of a job so I could keep my QOL" basically

actually, you just need to grow up and stop throwing stones from your glass house and perpetuating this "my crappy regional is better than yours and I myself am the reason for all that is good at mine!" game.

Oh, you're right. Silly me, just another insulting comment from a guy that doesn't have the brains or experience to think about what he says before he says it. How about owning up to what you said and realize you were insensitive. You were upset because you only moved up 20 numbers or so and you're going to continue to move up slow because now you're not getting Pinnacles airplanes to help you on your career quest at others expense. There are a lot pf people who have it worse. It sucks over here at Pinnacle, but I have to remember it could be worse. I can't wait to get out, but I will not start over at another regional. This industry is very cyclical, and right now it's the regionals turn to get pounded on.

I don't think flysooner said anything bad? He stated his opinion and he has right to do so. Which is the same as me, my personal opinion that one should never vote yes to a paycut if given a choice to vote yes/no. But again, these are opinions. It doesn't make you a lesser person if you do so. I don't think I've ever name-called you or anyone who voted yes. All I've maintained is that personally I would say no. I don't think less of you or your colleagues (except those Colgan ones who have high career expectations ) I get the feeling some think I harbor some negative feelings for 9E people, and that just isn't true. There were a lot of good guys there, guys I miss flying with. Good people who deserve to get out to better places, and I wish they get the chance. Please do not confuse my opinions on concessions or the SSP for somehow being that I wish ill on you or your colleagues.

I'm curious, would you really actually deny me a jumpseat over APC quarrels?

Also trying to ruin someones career over the internet is a little extreme. Now if you flew with someone and knew them personally I could understand it a little more if you felt so strongly.
I agree with this. I've come across cases where one thing was written and then when talking in person, they meant something else. Or sarcasm was missed. Bottom line, I cannot judge someone in person for online posts, until I get to know (or fly with) in-person.

I got accused of this on airlinks back in the day, but I don't ever recall telling guys to quit so I could move up. Now I may have joked "you're still here!" with some of the vocal CAs over there, but all in good fun and not saying they were holding me down career-wise. Bloch is the one primarily responsible for that, not you or your colleagues. There was one particular FO (who was fired, and then the union got his job back) who was very vocal and talked along those lines like you are saying. Maybe I was confused for him.
