Some even made direct comments about how they were finally going to get their due and be line holding heavy international captains by taking all the 777 and ER A seats.
Now the comments are variations about how lucky we were to avoid "this toxic cesspool." ( Direct quote from an East captain.)
You get it, they did the exact same thing to united. With Awa they got lucky because if their larger numbers. They demanded doh or nothing and when a neutral third party didn't give it to them, the vast majority of them decided to impose it on the smaller group. Men of integrity these guys.
