Through the skies on those dark weary nights - we laughed and joked, scowled and debated.
We shared wine and flavor across the globe.
Above all we cared for those who we were entrusted with - our passengers.

To quote Auliq:
“Respect is earned. Honesty is appreciated. Trust is gained. Loyalty is returned.”
Twas not to be.
Sorry but camaraderie went out with the demise of the TBF and CBC, just as planned. "Who or what we are"? A bunch of pilots who showed up for a quicker command and better money.
Prejudiced against each other because of nothing more than nationality (have a look back through some of your own posts). You know what I mean. I'd characterise today's group as disparate, self-serving, self-entitled.

There was no respect for seniority by fellow pilots, why should the company respect it. Professionalism – by whose standard? The drop in professionalism over the last two decades matches the fever with which they shook trees in less and less desirable environments and brought back the proceeds to fill the ranks.
Nothing wrong with positive sentiment but let’s keep it real, there’s enough re-writing of history going on in the world right now. Good luck.
