Of course not. The point is that you present a fairly absurd challenge.

The question at hand is how he treats his pilots.

While I can't answer that because I don't fly for him, I can point out as a basis of fact that he is one of the breed of corporate raiders that completely devastated the airline industry. He may be a great real estate investor but he will never be a great political friend to pilots.

As always, we will all vote for your priorities. With only two choices, we will have to compromise our morals to one degree or another. You may like Trump's stance on immigration and his chest thumping bluster, but don't ever be confused about his distain for wage earning union employees and his favoritism for their employers.

I don't expect a profit but trillion dollar losses year over year are starting to add up to real money.
