+1. Fear is a bad thing to have run your life decisions. A little risk, sometimes, will pay off handsomely. We just sit here as a group and allow our flying to be handed off to the likes of AK, HA, Skyteam etc.

Well, I hear what Slow was saying, and I'm not saying that everyone is weak sauce. We reduce capacity while ALK increases theirs, on routes we used to fly. This agreement permits this sort of outsourcing. The company is now implementing that outsourcing. It will affect our careers.

Do I think we should have sent the TA back to the company as 'undercooked'? Yes, I do, and I voted accordingly. But we have the agreement now and we'll all have to live with the ramifications of that. Would the alternative have been better? We'll never know, and I don't claim to have that answer either.
