Gaunty, IFF was commenting on GTs seeming inability to get the facts straight not about whether pilots have management skills in addition to their flying skills. Perhaps GT should check his facts before making comments and statements that suppossedly come from the pilot group. GT you directly quoted "one pilot", did you think to ask this pilot if his view was that of the majority? I think not! In fact I know you didn't. It would pay in future Mr Thomas to check your facts with more than one person before making statements that supposedly represent an entire group. Your statements send incorrect signals to other staff, clients and the travelling public, they are damaging to morale and are untrue!
BTW - GT did manage to get the seating correct, Skywest fly the F50 with 46 seats but GT what does RPT stand for?
