My point is that pilots in need of a job should never lose sight, nor be impressed with the fact the the current management comes from other walks of life. That does not label them as good bad or indifferent. These former airline execs were looking for jobs too.
All I am is saying is be careful... thats all. As Sy Simm said "Be an educated consumer". Don't be lured into false hopes or sense of secuirty. A number of airlines were started by individuals with a lot of experience with previous carriers such as the second National Airlines, Kewee, I forget the name of the 737 operator out of Colorado, but they were labled as the flying billboard airline headed by Ed Beauvais, Trans Maridian... etc. Where are they now?
