I like my city by the bay.

excuse me? I have nothing to do with Virgin America, you seem to have assumed that I am "stealing" your job simply because I thought wishing someone would lose their job was uncalled for?
If you're so ****ed off, you should target management, don't put the blame on another pilot. You expect a guy with no job to remain unemployed to keep you happy?
What fantasy world do you live in?

give me a break. I target both equally. I'm tired of hearing that management is all to blame. Pilots never take any responsibility for their actions. I highly doubt most of the pilots that will go to virgin will be unemployed before they take the job.
why offer virgin the priviledge of jumpseating when they don't have anything to offer back except lower pay.

The price you have to pay to live in a beautiful world class city!Back on topic - was just watching the local San Francisco news and they had a report about Virgin America. It didn't sound very promising for Virgin. Apparently a decision is suppose to be made next week.

On this issue, I agree with Velocipede and Eric Stratton.
Anyone willing to sit in the left seat of an A320 for $90/hr should be tarred and feathered. They are the reason why this profession continues in a downhill slide. Even worse, I read that Skybus will be paying their A319 left seaters $65/hr.
See 3b(4) from Merriam Webster:

I don't yet have the 'find more posts' option available to me. I wasn't about to go searching for all of his posts. Thanks. I just don't know why it was such a big deal for him to say it himself. Afraid of something perhaps?
