While I may not be for the old reps, them taking a stand against the company is admirable, so I was always for their picketing events. The bottom line is in the 9E time of pilot need, your group deserted them. It doesn't matter if the 9L MEC told you to do it, you could have still shown up in person and stood in support. Now you fly these jets with the rest of the 9E group after your props went away (something that could never happen, right?). Some unity you showed! You'll do what best serves you, not the 9E pilot group.
A few things.
1. They aren't "my props". (And I never said they wouldn't go away.)
2. The irony of you telling me "You'll do what best serves you, not the 9E pilot group", is blowing my mind. The 9E pilot group encompasses more than just pre-merger 9E pilots.
3. You are very shallow minded to keep on this rant about 9L disappearing. So are all the ATL 900s and 200s. So did the XJ Saabs. Fleets change, mergers happen, deal with it. It's part of the business.
