Professionalism and classiness in my book are two different things and probably so if you look them up in a dictionary.

What again am I supposed to be exactly careful of? Is it losing my livelihood the minute we merged? Or it is being furloughed since 2003?
They called themselves "The Nordstrom Pilots" and called the TWA group "The K-Mart Pilots" and "Hot Dog Vendors" during the merger and staple job. This attitude of theirs was from a false sense of security and accomplishment. So, no I am not going to be careful because I have nothing to lose anymore.... I now clean people's dirty floors for a living and live off my wife's salary!!
For what it is worth I know 2400+ pilots that would agree with me. And on a side note, they did not get the nickname "Sky Nazis" for nothing, this long before the TWA merger ever was.
This is all I am going to say about this and nothing really can be added. I will let everyone get back to feeling sorry for them. Really, the only people I feel sorry for are the "Redheaded Stepchildren".
