Not trying to start a war, I'm just genuinely curious to know what the AS and VX pilots think and how it might color your perspectives on the integration.
It makes complete sense. NOBODY else does transcons from the LA or SFO market to JFK in a 737 because passengers hate it, its noisy and uncomfortable. So because nobody else does it AS will. Nobody I have spoken to at VX is looking forward to leaving the Airbus.
