It's obvious it's my tail wheel endorsement that did it. 😄

The people department called around 2 pm to schedule the drug test and pick a class date. They said the earliest available was dec 9. So I took that one. Congratulations to all hired and I look forward to seeing everybody!!

Would not be surprised if the failure of the TA results in an immediate stop to pilot hiring and possibly a furlough of a few hundred pilots. Taking hostages is airline management 101 and Randy B is playing from a very old textbook.

I believe if left to Babbitt then yes, that would be the first play. Execute a few hostages and watch us fold.
The only reason I don't see it happening is that it would undoubtedly effect earnings and our standing on Wall Street. Gary is a slave to our investors and the image of a company full of happy, perky employees is a sham that they want to keep up for just that reason. It is a huge part of our public image. That is why the company has played us like a fiddle when it comes to picketing in public.
