I was singled out too. And to be fair, y'all had 2 years to prepare for this. Spare me the crying about affected families. You failed to protect your family from Teds destruction. The writing was on the wall late 2023.

When the chiefs are leaving the end is near.

A lot of pilots resigned a lot of seniority, including myself. Your anger should be directed at the man responsible for this, not us.

I've seen this **** before at another airline, and listening to the old timers telling me to get out, saved my ass from a previous ch7.

Ok, but you don’t have to rub salt in the wounds.


Terribly saved news if NK goes under.

100% this^^^^. Like crying for Katrina families that were on top of their roofs waiting for a Blackhawk rescue all while ignoring the Mandated Evacuation a week earlier. When the entire MEC Quit, most of the Chiefs, 3 Director of Trainings, 2 VP of Flights, and most recently, the System Chief who was the biggest yellow juicer there was, what else does anyone need to see?

I hear it once a week out west. It's about once a minute in the east. YMMV.

As I said "this post will age very well in the next 72hrs" he will either be right or he will be wrong.
Hopefully karma finds you, in full force. Tool

I’m getting a lot of sociopath vibes out of the “crash and burn” folks. I genuinely hope to never fly with any of you. You are NOT a net positive to this industry, your friends, or your families.

Wow…you are exactly what you described there with that comment. Not sure if you are still at NK but if you are don’t worry you may not have to fly with anyone real soon.

I can't imagine why one would hear stuff on the radio much more often on the east coast.
