FSU, Thanks,
More excellent analysis. But I still don't understand why the airlines paid above the going rate to get the ex-GA pilots they could have had in large numbers for chickenfeed (there was a recession on wasn't there?). Was there an element of "Recruitment Bonus" in there somewhere...?
And "Check Essential" is from the B727 actually. Great machine. The phrase is simply a little reminder of an elegant jet. Or does my AFAP membership disbar me from even that little vanity?
Had enough of this. Back to the real world. Sorry about the lost airlines that superior mathematics and "me first" policies helped kill. When you, like the rest of us, get on with life and stop sweating over dead airlines then you'll enjoy life more. I say that with complete sincerity...they're gone and you don't need to keep defending what you did. Build a new life and turn your back on the decisions you made then that seem to haunt you.
