At the same time, the APA leadership knows it would win the representation election in a merged company, so we AA pilots come out ahead. So far not too bad!
Between a ruthless CEO and an opportunistic APA, where's the downside here? East, Central and West,what a stew! We'll be all singing row, row, row your boat in no time flat!
You guys are right, our leadership is whacked, but Doug and Scott will be our saviors; the anticipation is awe inspiring and we will rule the world.
In reality, the pilots played themselves as suckers and Parker is simply capitalizing on something he himself is currently hamstrung on.
"Ruthless CEO" is a term quite easily applied to our present predicament........and again, since we're here and since Horton's plan is well known, how do you see him and that team leading us out of the abyss they themselves plunged us into ?
