I agree, very powerful letter for ALL 121 pilots to read. Particularly pax 121-regional, LCC, and mainline. I would like to shake this person's hand and buy them their beverage of choice.

I think either way the Eagle/Envoy pilots vote, there will be large industry repercussions.

Not sure who MA is.

RK is the training chair or what ever. He's flowing soon. MA is a serious a$$ hole APD that if you have a check ride with him, you burn a sick.

You're actually going to flow? Surprising.

I don't know him personally, but based on his reputation with people who do, and based on years of reading his posts online, he is about as far from hypocritical as anyone could be. Besides that, your post did not refer to anything specific in his letter. I don't care who wrote it--the points made are valid, and important.

I voted no.

Without taking sides either way, I do agree it is a bit presumptuous to put out a letter encouraging people to poke management in the eye while waving good-bye. As RJ Pilot said: he has donned the AA life preserver and has nothing to lose if Eagle goes down.

I like Rich, but if memory serves me correctly he was very much a YES voter on most issues right up until he got awarded his flow to AA.

I'm not saying that his letter is right or wrong and he has every right to put it out there as much as Matt Rettig had with his letter.
