No way... I'm stunned. So sad. Really a great man. Such a shame.

I don't know, that's just my opinion then again if I was loaded I probably wouldn't do this for a living or I'd be buying everybody dinner on my overnights lol.

I think you have to look at the audience when you make the argument... Kind of like riding the jumpseat and listening to a mainline Captain complain about his 6 figure salary not being enough meanwhile you're cash strapped and eating Ramen. This guy basically did the same thing and how did you expect the vocal minority on the Sapa forums to react?

I really don't see how the pilots can be so dense. SAPA is done. They are nothing more than management flunkies. People need to wake up.

THIS. SAPA is shooting themselves in the foot here. People are starting to notice. I hope SAPA's days are numbered. We need real representation.

Also, count me in for a few bucks for unmoderated SKW pilot forums. I'd be happy to pay a few bucks to someone who can make a real forum and make it known to the whole pilot group.

The one instructor you looked forward to going to sim with. Mitch had a way of making you feel good about yourself, your company and the business your in. He always had you leaving the session with a new found confidence and a desire to uphold professional standards.

RIP

This really is terrible. I hope us skywesters take a minute or two to remember what's really important in life and to show love and respect towards others. You just never know what life is going to throw at you.

Damn it!

RIP ML, what a true gentlemen you where and inspiration for all of us.

Re forums: I read that. That guy went way out of line. It is ok to disagree with someone, it is not ok to post pictures of ones house. What's next, posting pictures of his kids going to school ? Not cool.

303.

It doesn't matter if people don't agree with the guy or think he's being a jerk. It's still totally wrong to post personal information in a threatening way. Every job I've had prior to this one would have fired an employee on the spot for doing that.

I don't agree with the forum being shut down but some of the verbal attacks and especially posting a co-workers personal information was seriously crossing the line. I would have gone straight to SAPA or Management too if someone did that to me on a company forum.
