...at peanut pilot payrates...

Pay rates won't save an airline, and it sure won't sink it. Good management with a great credit rating and the knowledge of how to run an airline without losing money is the key.

That wasn't a joke. I really haven't seen a virgin in Atlanta for a long time....oh....you mean joking about the airline. Well, I figure I can't do anything about it so why lose sleep over it? If Branson doesn't do it, somebody else will. There will always be pilots willing to work for peanuts and there will always be management folks looking to make a buck and then cut and run. Then the cycle will begin anew.

Yeah, but thats not the point. For 5,6,7 years they can run around the states charging $50 a seat across the Country, cutting into everyones RPSM! (Even LCC king B6)

I can't wait for the day that Dave & Dave come to you guys and say; "Because of other LCC's cutting into our yeilds, we have to have relief from our crews expenses."

Actually that's sad for me to say. I don't want your pay cut, I want you guys to continue to go up in pay. A better way to say it is; "I think it will suck the day Dave & Dave cut your pay with a memo, and no input from a single crewmember."
