Kestrel, I couldn't agree more. Nobody wants anyone in this industry to fail. When that happens you are talking real lives and real families that suffer. Not just pilots, but all the way from the top to the bottom of the organisation. Even the poorest of people that clean the waste bins get affected.
Also, there is the secondary effect that will undoubtably effect every other pilot out there, especially those that might gloat at another airlines misfortune. You might think yourself lucky, but have you ever thought about the fact that there is a seriously more experienced pilot in the marketplace that will undoubtably get that job opportunity before you will?
And, if MYT went to the wall, can you be SURE your airline isn't the next most vunerable?
Small industry this is. Best thing that you pilots can do is zip ya lips and hope to hell all survive.
Next best thing is that you hope and pray your airline has the best financial management possible. Thats what MYT needs right now, to demonstrate to those that have the ability to pull the plug that they have a sound grip on matters. Beancounters they may be, but trust your existance on the fact that they are and can do a good job to secure your job!
Time to reflect I reckon and get united?
