It's astounding that a pilot reaches the same conclusions as Management, with absolutely no regard for the careers and lives of our F/O's. Oh wait, you went thru it, so to hell with your colleagues following you. No wonder this profession is in such a state of upheaval.
sittingidly I fully agree with Wiz. Airlines operate in a cutthroat industry. If airlines today base their decisions on the affects their decisions might have on their staff's morale than they are a bunch of idiots. At the end of the day managment's role is to make the airline profitable and not let the planes parked on the ramp.
Guys and dolls appreciate that the world is changing and unfortunately we have to start adapting to the new realities.
