You will, of course, remember the 'glory days' of ASL inception when C+T folks agreed to train ASL troops until a december deadline (ASL presumably to have their own trainers by then). When this was reached and they threw in the towel Ft.Oops(not a misprint)management said THAT contract was 'binding in honour only'!!another shining example of standupmanship. C+T folks offered to resign and fly the line ..the response to which was 'we have no line captain positions available at this time'!!!In other words resign from C+T and leave permanently! It does not take a genius to imagine the quality of training the poor buggers received from then on!(let's not forget who's fault it is ASL is here in the first place). I DO like the 'pull together' idea though and i feel the crews ARE getting closer to solidarity. The ranks of 'old boys' is thinning rapidly and with an ever younger(and more employable) workforce I think MNGMNT will be dealing with discontent on an annual basis unless they short out their s**t in the near future..what's it going to cost them to join the human race anyway? By the way I think some of our C+T guys are pretty good blokes all 'round...and they do it for the right reasons.
