Default Re: Skybus and the Teamsters

I think they understand now.

The issue is that the average reader doesn't understand the background of why Skybus is detrimental to the aviation profession.

It's an emotional issue. There's a lot of angry people about what's going on there and things will be said... HOWEVER, I think it's important that we describe for the "silent user" the reasons why professional pilots are so emotional about doofus ops like Skybus.

Like the "Beech 1900 carrier named after a major flow of water on the east coast". Turning up the vitriol without background information on why is largely why we're losing that battle.

But then, it's largely a natural human reaction. Much like picking on Canadians!

OK, back to the topic at hand, move along, nothing to see here!
