To you maybe. What it tells me is that the idiots that went there in the first place have finally realized that mgt there could care less and the operation is a joke. The sooner that airline is gone the better. Good riddance. Unfortunately it seems places like that are just like weeds. Pluck one and then another one pops up in its place with more pilots rushing over to destroy what's left of the industry. All the while they're using whatever reasoning they can think of to help the feel better and sleep at night. Not wholly unlike the ones who choose to cross a picket line. No wonder people like Velo call them proto-scabs!

What's really sad though is that even when you go through the trials of laying out all the reasons an airline like that is worthless you STILL get folks to argue that it's not really true. Like the saying goes, you can lead a horse to water...
