For the record,I never once saw an "80-80-80" sticker or pin, and never heard anyone push it as a good idea during my Eagle days. Nor have I ever seen a "hired not acquired" pin or sticker at AA.
It was anything BUT slamming Eagle, but she's a highly emotional person prone to flying off the handle. This post is all the more ironic in that she's posted here advocating retaliation against other pilots at Eagle for exercising contractual rights fought for and that soon may disappear (aside from advocating other illegal job actions elsewhere) and if anything, THAT is "slamming" Eagle pilots.
I never saw an "80-80-80" badge/sticker, but talked to those who did and as I said, what 10 pilots do out of thousands, isn't a blanket position. Have never even heard of the "hired, not acquired" badge/sticker here until this recent post.
