I'm guessing you've not been involved with the process one single bit, so you have zero idea of the enormous effort that has been put forth to make this merger a reality. No one is patting themselves on the back, quite the opposite actually, the idea is to share a celebration of a new chapter. We are a very unified (93%) group with respect to ALPA, so maybe you sir, are a part of the 7%. Regardless, those involved will not separate you from the effort they'll continue to exert. Thanks for not coming tonight and being a negative vibe...maybe you can spend time on your treadmill instead.

It's like celebrating that we went out and bought a treadmill, even though we are still 100 pounds overweight and haven't lost a single pound. Dumbest thing I've seen here yet. Funny how money is so easy to blow when you don't have to earn it. Reminds me of that organization out in the East coast with the fancy big white house.
We, as a group, a union, should be getting ****ed off and adamant. We are going out to eat and drink instead, congratulate each other on a job well done. Maybe the Union will hang mission accomplished banners up in the bar. Really strike some fear in our management group.
