How can this be? Seriously, where is the luv?
After all that's been promised to those guys, and after the vast majority of them voted to in some way believe you, is this really what you mean?
It seems it doesn't take long for the stepchild to lose their shine.
(The ink isn't even dry on the seniority list yet.)
You are a good guy, don't let this stuff change who you are.
Yeah you're right KN. I guess the rumor of DAL maybe taking some of the AT guys with the 717's stirred up some discussion and more angst by some on APC. I really feel that if they (very few of them I am sure) can't transition over with a better attitude than some display on APC then alternatives for their happiness should be explored. Except for stating their case with fellow pilots and mentioning changes to our CP's to aid the AT pilots cause, I am in the end one pilot out of thousands. I sincerely want them all to be happy, but sadly I don't think it will ever be possible for some
