Airtran Scheduling cost company millions

[Clyde Frog]

I remember reading in the paper an AirTran V.P. saying "pilots like to think they are special, they are not." ( can't remember exact quote, something along those lines).

I think that statement doesn't take into consideration all that the pilots do every day that is "unseen" to help the bottom line...(like saving the 32 gallons of gas on our own initiative.)

"Pilots like to think they're special people, they're not. Their contribution to the success of AirTran is no greater than that of anyone else"- Steve Kolski, VP, flight Ops, AirTran Airways, as quoted by the Atlanta Journal Constitution.
