USA Jet SUCKS!

[iaflyer]

In those years, did you ever go down the hall and talk with managment to try and diversify the company? Did anybody?

I and others brought up the idea in pilots meetings regularly. The responses:

Why aren't we getting into large aircraft ACMI like Connie: Not our business.

We sat by and watching Connie go from 2 airplanes to 20 and make millions.

Why don't we run one or two of the parked DC-9s for someone like DHL: We make a higher profit margin on on-demand freight.

Meanwhile JUS parks more and more airplanes.
Why don't we do some passenger stuff: Not our business (heard prior to 2003, then it was our business for some reason)

Why don't we do more stuff on the west coast?: Not our business

I could go on and on. PilotYIP was good at thinking up new ideas. Unfortunately, upper management never wanted to do anything other than auto freight.

I dedicate this to everything CH and management did for us, hopefully they will se it as their new theme song.

I aint talking about no pilot scum walking down the hall, but all the good time buddys that got together for lunch everyday.

Does anybody even thing that RM would even think of doing anything other than come in everyday, intimidate crews, and act like he cared?

These guys were so out of touch, that they could even fire guys the right way.

All I'm saying, is that no one should be upset, shocked, blind sided of this company going the way it did, especially Porky, PYIP, and anybody else that spent anytime around that place.

It was a battered pilot shelter for years, many who are good friends, ans some of the hardest working, but it is what it is. The guys who left 3-5 years ago all saw the writing on the wall, the ones who stayed decided to ride the ship down, which most knew what was coming.

They could have found the talent to make it, but that meant removing people who were to entreched.

Theres no escape from the Willow Run Vortex.

I bet it was one hell of a tax rightoff though.
