Thank you for acknowledging the sacrifices we made at AWA to bring a profitable future to you- I was glad to share i

t with you in 2005. Now, after I've seem your character over these past nine years, not so much. I now see you more of a fungus, and I think a lot if us at AWA would now have much rathered to watch you all just die quietly. But, Parker saved you and now the APA has given you a gift far greater than you (or I) could have ever had in a stand alone model- we are both going to benefit greatly from the American pilots and the Kirby/ Parker team.
I just wish you guys would quit with the delays, the frivolous union actions and move on peacefully. Your east union has been a road block to progress for almost seven years now. Totally unacceptable.
