You are proposing that UPS will ultimately fecalcan them, I doubt that one too.

Call me an optimistic pessimist ... it works well at this place !

Granted...

When on SDF layovers, since non-SDF types are relegated to leaving flight bags outside, I always put mine in the rack under the big banner that says:

Expectation Zero

One of those motivational reminders to keep my perspective "reasonable".

Word is that, Davis' microscopic bean counters are starting a top to bottom review of the whole FQS system, and will finally be exacting the same efficiencies from them that they have from the rest of the company. Davis may have no interest in top line growth of this company, but he has done a masterful job of trimming not just to, but into the bone. Based solely on that, knowing how these buffoons are tripping all over each other there is fat to be cut. Plus, they will eat each other alive trying to stay alive. I especially wait to see some of our traitors get the axe and then wouldn't it be sad if every other union was supplied with their names as they crawl for interviews.

The company knows that they can't sign cards now, so there is no reason to coddle them or make more false promises. They are/should be (or will be when every other union finds out what they did) in essence scabs in the eyes of ALPA given we have real pilots on the street.
