As far as equal thanks, well, I guess that I'm not equally thankful that you wouldn't stand up for a better QOL for the rest of your coworkers. Sure, you maybe perfectly content with your QOL but that doesn't mean you shouldn't stand up with the rest of the pilot group.
It's all perspective. The behavior of 357 leadership has precluded this from happening.

Unfortunately there's two CBAs, but you know if you win one, you win them all. That's what unity gives you. You protect our backs and I can guarantee we'll protect yours.
We took a pay freeze as part of a restructuring plan that will allow us to continue and separate from your operation.

This is the only thing we seem to agree on.
