That's politicalspeak for 'I'll say whatever it takes to get elected. I'll do whatever I want once elected.'
Are you naive? No that's reality. All politicians have been doing this since political choice started. This isn't news at all. As humans we all do this very same thing in our daily lives as well and if you say you don't you are a liar. As a pilot you play this game with customers, dispatch, scheduling, FA's, etc. I'm sure all your buddies tell you the same story about their layover they tell their family. Do you think Trump doesn't do this? Did he come out with his full intentions with his golf course in Scotland while he was planning it? Does he publically not say climate change is a chinese hoax while simultaneously privately petitioning for walls at his seashore resorts because he fears climate change and rising sea levels?
Neither one of these clowns will make daily decisions that benifit me but at the end of the day Dem's have always put a more labor friendly member on the NMB than the Republicans have. No major airline will ever be able to strike again but if you look at the events leading up to the LUV TA you would never have a Republican NMB take action against a company who wasn't bargaining in good faith like this one has.
