The industry is run, for the most part by guys who spent most of their college years passed out in the bushes 3-4 nights a week. Jonny, and Dougie and more than a few other proud riders of the shortbus are the leaders. What the lack in intelligence they, make up the shortcomings by displaying an astounding lack of moral character, and a viciousness that exceeds a pack of hyenas at the buffet(water buffalo).

I have said repeatedly, if you aren't ready to knife fight in a phone booth, prepare to need band aids and Bactine. I have worked in more than a few hardcore industries(construction, not porn), and this one makes all the others look like Mother Teresa's soup kitchen. The youngins, who come into this industry, starry eyed and innocent, are just being led to the slaughter house. Welcome to Jonny O's and Hula'ses house of charnel. Glad my future has been secured, this is gonna get ugly(er).

What 40 ERJs are coming to LAX? Or are you referring to the UAL Ejets we've known about for 1.5 years? Yeah I'm not using rumors from the FSI break room, I do have blood and friends in HDQ, including the MX department. I knew the date of the Bros going away since September when everyone else was speculating if it was going to happen or not, and if so it would be a "slow wind down". If everyone I know at HDQ has been decoyed into believing its mainly MX issues, and it is truly all about staffing, then something additional is on the horizon. I know the AA E175s are being bid on. But on the same token, so is most of what is currently being flown.

Airlines are like any other business before paying one more penny in salaries they will discontinue the service or shrink it. Demand means little when balanced by salary increases.

Which is the very hot button that had most shaking in their booties. Disinformation, obscuration, all smoke and mirrors, and the average line pilot falls for it hook line and sinker. How bout a Billion dollar game of chicken? They have far more to lose than we do. Shrink before raising pilot pay, PLULLLHEEZE, "Oh yeah, we will show those pesky pilots, we will shrink and wave good bye to our cushy cash cow" What are they gonna do in SGU if SKYW shrinks? Work at the Dairy Queen? SAPA is their advertizing agency, plain and simple. Lock in what? They giveth, and they can take it away all based upon a quick keystroke of their Dell computers. Do you really believe the stuff you type or are you a shill?
