At AS, we’ve sadly accepted 92% for so long our management believes they’re entitled to it. WE have to change their minds. Not national, not the MEC. US.
Absolutely correct, the virgin pilots and MEC is very upset with things and if it is thought that we are weak boy oh boy will there be an eye opener. Most virgin pilots are from places that treated the rank and file so poorly they are no longer in business. There is a wdgac attitude and it is growing. Just look at the performance for the **** poor fifty scratches a month. We don’t give a c about it and the performance shows. 90% of us have been there done that
and are more than willing to let angle lake fail in spectacular fashion. Pilot demand is very high and the leadership is to snow blind to see it.
