You make me a little nervous, but I am hoping that you are just the usual half dozen fear mongering malcontents that seem to inhabit every pilot ***** board since the internet was invented.
All the guys I meet seem pretty happy and looking forward to the future. You would think it is the end days to read all the bull**** in this thread. I guess checking in from time to time on APC is as useless as FI became years ago. Even the comedy nuggets are too few and far between all the chicken little prognostications.
Might be time to punch out of APC.
I'm not chicken little and I'm also not looking forward to this merger.... or the future of the Air Group for that matter. I do not see a path forward that does not involve a lot of suffering for our mid-seniority people. People who have been furloughed to pay for this merger are going to pay for it again with seniority loss...
Perhaps you have not flown with me "out on the line" but if you had I would not hesitate to tell you how I feel...
I will gladly do my part to shut this place down if negotiations do not go well. At last count the air group owes me at least a quarter million... and I'm happy to take it however I can...
