Agreed. All the more reason to seek and maintain as much job protection as possible.

We ALL swing with the gate of whatever fence we happen to be on at any given time. If you go to SWA, I'd expect you to turn red, orange and blue.

Well now. Isn't this a nice unsubstantiated accusation ? No, I've never been an ALPA rep. Were you not that Eagle pilot who wrote everyone up senior to him in the hope of upgrading faster ? .....or perhaps you were the Eagle pilot I heard about who fantasized about pushing others down the stairs to see what it would sound like ?
Get a life, dude.

Yes, this is te EXACT rationalization that those who seek to steal as much flying (and jobs) from AA as possible. In fact, from ANYONE. Again, we're at least making an effort to try and stop that. If we fail, the house of cards eventually falls for everyone and all pilots will have no job security at all.
Since this is OBVIOUSLY what you're advocating...........um, get a life, dude.

Yes, the product does need serious improvement. But using your own analogy, Eagle's product is among the worst in the industry hands down and way worse then AA's. By virtue of that fact, if AA's product is an overpriced, stale hamburger, Eagle's product is what the poor schmuck puked up after he ate it.
There's a segment here arguing that AA should hire off the street to avoid having to accept the "undesirables" at Eagle. Congrats...........you just made their argument much stronger.
