Im being honest about the realities of bringing these two culturally different pilot group together. It started well before this merger and not going away because we are tired of hearing it...
I can't think of any instances where there is any animosity with one group to the other. Of course, this and other forums DO NOT COUNT because guys get all chest-beat-y over stuff on forums that would be over & done in a heartbeat in person. Nobody can type fast enough to actually converse on a forum.
So, while some of us have differing opinions over details, we all are freakin' sick and tired of the stonewalling from management.
Lack of communication is a big deal to all of us, and I think we have to place a certain amount of trust in our MECs, given that anything said to the pilots publicly is the same as sending Jeff an email with a bullet-pointed outline.
This request for release is, to me, a very polarizing event. If Jeff had any clue that our pilots were in harmonious unity, he'd be signing tomorrow.
It's time to fish or cut bait.
I'm stocking my tackle box.
