I will leave all this for the wisdom of hindsight. I don't recall anyone on this or any other forum-or even in the crewroom- accurately predicting anything which has gone on at LASA in the 15 years I've been here. We are all better served by not throwing barbs between the pilots groups based on predictions of the future.
It will be a shame someday when the pilots at US Airways/American are looking back at our merger and laughing about the acrimony between the pilot groups. We are headed down a path which will make the US Airways East/West debacle look like a cake walk.
