Have talked to a handful of guys in LAX and SFO, I would say everyone seemed friendly and polite. I think they would say the same of me and the FO's I was flying with. I think if you look at this merger objectively you would realize VX pilots have nothing to lose and everything to gain. AS pilots have nothing to gain and everything to lose. That is not a good combination for our careers... I have more then 28 years left and it is feeling more like a prison sentence at this point. I honestly think the merger is going to be a disaster, I sincerely hope I am wrong.
This thing is going to take a while, and I think it will soon get very ugly. Just look at the TPA.. It should have taken a couple of weeks to hammer out. No matter how bad it gets I will never be rude to anyone at VX... Might be jealous, but not rude.
