Before anybody get it wrong I would like to underline something.
I was not blame anybody, just to mention how difficult times we live now and did in near past. It is also difficult for those guys in "sister companies". Not easy to live knowing how things are, but they did not choose that either.
Flathatter, I agree. Harder times ahead- no doubt.
pharmair, Your last sentence got it. We all should fight, the whole industry is changing and lot of things will hurt us as pilots in the future.
I'm well and secured now but who knows what tomorrow will bring. Thanks for asking Pharm. It ain't greener here but life is better at the moment. Really from the bottom of my heart my symphaties are always with fellow aviators, especially with those about to loose their jobs.
