Now we have conversation, and it would be great to hear from some of the men/women out in GOM and what their thoughts are.
Devil - I agree with you, as I don't want to see them strike either. I just don't know if it is avoidable at this point. Let's hope that it is.
ATPMBA- Of course there is money in aviation and always will be, just a question of when it will flow down the hill to the working men and women. The airliners seem to have done a much better job of starting that flow down hill that the rotor-wing sector. Hopefully that is changing or at least that is the appearence from my look out station.
Sassless - You are wise beyond your years and you do know exactly where or dare I say who I come from. I have been tainted but I have the utmost respect and admiration for my tainter.
I have always been one for a good conspiracy and was just wondering what everyone's thoughts on the "behind the scenes" talks were between operators. It appears that Devil and Sassless don't see a conspiracy
just bad management. I have to agree but like a good journalist I want to know if there is more to the story. Maybe I should send Jayson Blair to investigate and report back? Maybe we'll just get the straight dirt from some of those flying the GOM and not have to sit on the sidelines and speculate...guess time will tell.
