We are all guilty of it Sherm, however, you are correct. Everybody is on edge or distracted these days due to whats happening around the globe and at our respective employers.
Getting on pprune and making snide comments about the viability of a competing airline is just one of a number of ways some individuals can let off steam. Whether they feel threatened that their own job is on the line as a result of the other airlines expansion, or they may have been rejected by that company when they applied for a pilot position. Who knows? One things for sure, in the heat of battle we have all said things we regret.
Maybe it's time to lead a charge to be more positive about not only our own futures but the futures of all that work in the industry as we know it. I'm not a wellspring and I'm not an advocate of allot of the warm and fuzzy stuff that HR departments put out, however maybe a bit of generosity of spirit at a time like this is what we all need.
