As much as everyone rags on ShyGuy, I will say that I have been reading his posts for a while and caught on to his observations from a year ago. As a relatively junior FO at 9E, I took those warnings seriously and am thankful I did. Although not quite "out of the woods yet", I know that I am extremely fortunate to be in a pool waiting to leave for much greener pastures.
Was it entirely ShyGuy's views that had me "see the light"? Not exactly. There were other people close to me that were highly influential in my decision to start preparing; but my point is that he has been right on many things and for most, that's tough to admit. So for this, I say: thank you ShyGuy.

i sure as hell wouldn't go out without a fight. they act as if this airline's hardship is a force of nature and it just happend to land on Pinnacle. it wouldn't surprise me to see pilots and mechanics reminding the management team who really makes the airline run.
That was funny though.

I hope we do have the best on time performance over the next year. Because we have a responsibility to the PAX. I really do not care what management thinks about the pilots or our on time performance. We are still professionals and are paid(no matter how short or small that check is) to do our job. I will not go out of my way for the company or do any favors for the company but I will not take it our on our Passengers.

So if the 1,500 pilots that are getting furloughed vote NO, they still lose their jobs, but it results in Air Wisconsin will be hiring 800 some pilots off the street?
And if they vote YES, they still lose their job and no jobs are available on the market.
Hmmmm......
Yea, this thing ain't passing no matter what!!!
It was fun boys!

Air Wisconsin winning a RFP for 40 CRJ900s has about the same odds as Carrie Underwood leaving her husband and showing up under my Christmas tree next week.
Ain't gonna happen. Where do you even come up with this stuff??
