AirTran cancelling classes

[CoolSidePillow]

You're right, it doesn't make sense to me. Nothing more than "shiny wide-bodied jet syndrome." An airplane is an airplane. If it paid $300k and gave me 25 days off a month, I'd fly an RJ for the rest of my career. The people that salivate over flying a 767 just don't make sense to me. It's just an airplane, people. What matters is the time you spend at home, not the time you spend in an aluminum tube.

Opinions are like a$$holes. Everyone has them. It is not for any person to decide or judge on the decisions or actions of another unless they harm another person in some way. Some people would rather be home with wife and kids and some do not have wife and kids. Some people want to work a few days a month and make tons of cash and some want to enjoy life as they see it. Perhaps for some people the idea of flying a widebody aircraft around the world is better than watching mom wipe the snot from junior's nose. Not everyone wants the family life or kids or a wife that has a butt as big as a pickup tailgate. It is all relative. Who is anyone to say what is good, bad, right, or wrong for another?

Slow down iaherj,if you reread my post i said money and stability are not the deciding factors for many people.as far as the pay off comment,the day you retire is the day everyone of us can look back at choices that we made as a good carrier move or not.

To heck with cancelling classes...cancel SAP2

We would save more money and have much more productive lines if we could just get the incompetent individuals in Orlando to put SAP 2 back on FLCIA. Pilot lines would be more productive and reserves would be better served than "hiding" the time. You could get rid of most of the people that are supposedly "planning" and put them to work elsewhere.... helping gate agents, janitorial staff or baggage. All the money that would be saved could be used to grow the airline at least a couple of percentage points. Think of the huge wad of money that has been wasted through their ineptness over the course of the last five years and more. Sure wish this could be brought to the attention of the shareholders. Faced with a sure fire way to improve productivity out of the workforce and leaving things in a state of disprepair, which prudent course of action would an aggressive managerial force pursue? Makes you say.... HUH????!!!!

Did you buy a share of stock and are you going to the shareholder's meeting?

Free bus ride with your stock certificate...

A little over sensitive, don't you think? I wasn't attacking the guy, just saying that I think it's a mistake. I've said the same thing to a couple of copilots I know that made the same decision. I just don't think it's a wise move.

I guess we should all consult with you before making any decisions in life. Thanks
