There weren't supposed to be any losers. That's the real problem. When IACP was "independent" and was being "courted" by ALPA, ALPA came in and made all of these huge promises about "fair and equitable." Not only did CAL pilots finance the day to day operation for the merger and finance/fund the ability of the furloughed and unemployed 1400 pilots to come back to work and do so ahead of them, but ALPA absorbed all of the finances of IACP to put in the war chest to use against CAL pilots.
So, your right. No one like a sore loser. But, no one especially likes dishonesty and false sales pitch. Now, we've got these people on the outside of the window looking in complaining and somehow I don't feel any sorrow for them.
ALPA had no problem taking our dues money to use against us, and ALPA had no problem absorbing the millions of dollars we had set aside for contract negotiations, and most assuredly ALPA had no problem in using our money against us and give 1400 pilots a windfall at our expense.
Unity Baby! Pass it around.
