It won't h urt me a bit, and the truth of the matter is, 12-13% of pilots corssing will still keep this airline grounded. So if they want to make a statement, be my guest - it'll only hurt them in the long run.
If the TWA pilots-cross the line what will they have to lose..what else can the APA take away from us. They have taken our seats, equipmt., bases and careers, what can we lose..you guys will call us scabs...wow kmart, hot dog vendor to scabs...we dont have anything else for you to take from us, you have taken the store.
I have no qualms about admitting that many TWA pilots got screwed by our acqusition, while some made out quite nicely (senior guys.)
.
The senior guys that remained after the early retirement buyout (the FERB), were almost all Ozark guys, why ? because they got DOH...
The entire TWA training command, Chief Pilots office and senior capts were almost all OZ, green guys. Whoever told you the OZ guys got stapled, sold you a bag of goods. Tubb, Roberts, Mason, Horan, all very senior TWA guys, all OZ guys.
