I will say however, outside of their hatred of Parker & CO, they are absolutely the best guys one could ask to fly with, and the hate is limited toward the company not fellow employees.
Not sure what you're saying here.

So, a couple of thousand East pilots are hopelessly angry. Well, 10,000 legacy AA pilots and perhaps a large contingent of West pilots could be added to the mix. The point being, Parker's opportunity to demonstrate he was serious about valuing labor relations including competitive compensation is still unwritten. Hopefully, he'll avoid the mistakes of the past.
