Unfortunately, I think the hornets nest has been stirred up over there and people are losing sight of the forest through the trees. The FUPM attitude isn't going to gain LXJT any friends or sympathy from the ASA side. At least it isn't for me.

We need to be working together, not against each other (easier said than done) to achieve a common goal without losing sight of that goal of a better contract! Unfortunately, it seems for some this may be getting blurred with anger and bitterness, where prospective is lost and "burning it down" becomes the new goal.

I hope for you, me, and every single pilot at this airline that emotions can be checked, priorities re-evaluated, and egos left at the door by our MEC's. The track we're currently on is toxic, and unproductive. Hopefully this can be arrested before it gets too out of hand.
