SWAPA gave Gary those things in exchange for all of the AT captain seats and and a bulk of their seniority. To deny that is to deny reality. Real classy SWAPA.
None of those things had one iota to do with the SLI due to the AT acquisition. Capitulation is par for the course for SNApA, and I assure you that there was no quid pro quo re: the SLI, as Gary does not give SNApA that kind of consideration. He dictates, and SNApA sells it.
You're giving SNApA
way too much credit and Gary couldn't give a **** what SNAPA wants or thinks. They were and are and have always been a puppet of management, and in the above examples, as welll as the SLI, bent over like they always do and went along for the ride.
IMHO, we'd have fared much better had he actually taken our side on the thing.
As for the rest of your classy post, I understand Delta is hiring.
