Sorry. I don;t suffer fools well.
P.S.
That village idiot joke is getting pretty old.
When you get a sense of humor, FDJ, I'll start taking your critiques to heart.
68pilot said:Hey V70, I would just give up on this thread. You sir, are in fact correct. The majors will recover, and make Bazillions of dollars, and the Pilots will end up renegotiating at the bottom of the next down turn (as always). I believe I saw that American pilots are signing a six year concessionary contract. I hope to hell they put a snapback clause in there somewhere...
Best regards,
68 pilot

I flew at ASA long before AirTran came to ATL... I was there when we called you guys "Crispy Critter", and used to call a move to your airline a "lateral" move (coming from ASA)... I've seen guys come and go out of Concourse C, and I'm sure if they all had the benefit of 20/20 hind sight they would have thought different then about if they would have left AirTran for Delta. So don't try to paint me into this naive corporate pilot profile that I hardly fit.
Now, do me a favor... when the economy goes back to normal. and DAL returns to profitability... tell me how many junior guys at AirTran are going to turn down that interview at the big D... I bet very few, but then I could be wrong... only time will tell.
And lets try to keep this a bit more professional, I know I have been a bit uncivil at times here, but debate my points, and not my IQ.

And when Delta returns to profitability (and I know they eventually will) – a) it won’t be the same Delta you & I would have applied to 2 years ago; & b) no junior guy (in his right mind) at Airtran would even consider an “interview at the bid D” if this downturn is any indication of how unprepared Delta (among others) is for the economy down cycles.

....Why the cost of most consumer goods are far less than they used to be, even without inflation factored in.
Yes, you're correct! It's because labor is so much less than it used to be. And of course, nothing is made in the US anymore.
You ever notice?
.....Why airfare is so much less than it used to be, even without inflation factored in.
Although, aviation jobs are not leaving the country, the net affect of those willing to work for less is the same. CEOs and Consumers look at a ticket from LAX to DFW in the same way they look at $49 VCR at Walmart. The cheaper the better. And as long as some Malaysian kid is willing to work for less than a buck a day, or some hungry pilot $18K a year. That's what we are going to get!
CEOs answer only to shareholders. If they could get you to work for free, they'd do it in a heartbeat.
There are no "for people" companies out there. Just "for profit" companies.
I'm not saying that there aren't companies out there that treat their employees well, there are. But they do it to make "happy workers", which may be compensated less for greater productivity.
This is corporate America, not just American, SWA, Fedex or anybody else.
Fire Away!

"?Crispy Critter ?? why don?t YOU ?debate points?? or is this cheap shot just to make you feel better about not having the foresight beyond the dot.bomb bubble boom of the happy-go-lucky nineties thinking the $1,000 w/up fares would last forever. And Mister Crispy Critter to you.
Lead the way to keeping it professional, V7.
