V, truth be known...I would prefer a union. I am not neceassarily an ALPA fan, however, everything that one would want with a union is already built into an ALPA membership. Medical support, legal, loss of license and so on...

I also think that the current management at B6 is no longer capable of continuing the operation. Everything that we all knew was behind the scenes pretty much reared it's ugly head during the V-Day massacre. I.E. the shoestring budgets that have kept us from being properly equipped with dispatch and scheduling software that is designed to work with a 130 A/C airline, the lack of "qualified" middle management personel in key decision making positions, the lack of a phone system that can actually handle so many customer calls and the list goes on and on...

If a buyout occurs I just hope to have a job on the back side of it. Neeleman is killing this company and truly needs to leave. At this point I pretty much feel that B6's only chance for survival is a buyout buy a real airline.
