I don't understand why you boys play this pissing match.
Pilots don't put out press releases. Last I checked we're not allowed to talk to the media. Pilots don't control operational directions that a company might take. Last I checked, none of us are currently dual qualified as CEOs. Pilots don't decide when and if a company goes into bankruptcy. That's a job that CEOs and Wall Street are well equiped to handle. Hell, pilots don't even control wether a company furloughs or doesn't. So what's the big deal?
Pilots can however, at times control what kind of contract they obtain. Pilots can put up a good fight to obtain what's rightfully and fairly theirs. That in my mind, is the discussion that should be taking place. Not stuff that in most cases we have ZERO control over. That being said, when will I read the headlines that state, " Airtran signs industry leading contract with its pilots?" Now that's a discussion worth having!!!!! I hope it happens soon.
