Serious question only. Not bashing.

They bought it hook line and sinker. I am always amused by the continued buffoonery by the folks at FAPA. Quite possibly the weakest union in airline history.
Now, the hilarious thing is that FAPA has the pilots convinced that they will be in good shape if they buy a bunch of new (read expensive+interest) aircraft...

Apparently Bedford read the book "Borrow your way to profitability", and we see how well thats working out for them... I have looked, and looked, and looked, but still cant find that book anywhere....
F9 is in the toilet, The new plane contract is the toilet paper, and FAPA is the fecal matter racing towards the sewer.... Who flushed you ask? Mr Bedford..... And he is laughing his way to the bank, with their wage concessions....
Quite possibly the best entertainment in the airline news!!!!!!!
Seriously, keep it up guys (FAPA), it gives a great example for other unions of what not to do....(lolz)
