TWAer, thanks for the input. I, too, want what is best for CHQ. I may be a loud mouth, but I am fiercely loyal to this pilot group and will defend it to the last round. It's a sad day when loyalty is considered a vice or an embarrassment....
This is a *discussion* board. I do not reserve the right to *be* right all the time. Ninety-nine percent of the time I post to hear what others think in response because the collective intelligence of those on this board far exceeds mine.
At any rate, I was here two years before I had ever even heard of CHQ and I will be here long after my days at CHQ are finished. Nobody is required to read what I say. Everyone has the option to simply ignore me if they choose and that's perfectly fine with me.
However, to suggest that we are not concerned about our fellow pilots at other companies is a bit over the top in my opinion. I dare say that our image in the eyes of other pilots at other carriers was a big factor in the decision of the pilot group to vote in favor of a strike. What others think of us matters and what we do in terms of contract (and how that effects others) also matters to most at this company.
One thing I have noticed about CHQ....the pilots are incredibly intelligent as a whole. The senior guys have done an amazing job of keeping the culture intact through a great deal of growth in a very short period of time. People at this company (with the one or two notable exceptions on display in this thread) seem to genuinely care about their brothers and sisters in arms.
If I get excited in my defense of this pilot group then at the very least try to see why. This is a great bunch of people and I'm proud to be among them. I will continue to defend them and continue to be loyal even if the gesture is not returned.
Best of luck to all of us, CMR and ASA included.
Cheers!
