I'll have to decline to agree with "post of the year" for this one, since it was ACA management... not the pilots... that decided to cut the leash. It has never been satisfactorily explained to me how the PILOTS did anything more than not quit when the company went solo. You didn't do anything "for the good of the profession" or anything altruistic like that. Many of you did of course get furloughed and that sucks beans, but you didn't put your head on the chopping block and risk anything (unless you were hired by another company after these events were put in motion and turned it down). Stop making it sound like the ACA pilots did anything more extraordinary than continue to fly what they were already flying, just with different paint and ID's.
Or... You can explain to me how it is that you accomplished something as a pilot group, and not as part of an entire company that tried to go it alone and worked hard to differentiate your product from the competition. I'm fully aware that this will be construed as flame bait, but I'd really like to hear an answer that makes sense and isn't based in some nebulous "our pilot group sacrificed all and tried to slay the giant, so we're better than the rest of you" argument.
