Southerner just likes cleaning airplanes and getting paid less than his peers. Hyperboy usually rows in the pilots’ direction (actually he is literally super hyper and rows in a lot of directions at once), and I’d rather have him in a quasi-management position than a southerner. He’s not the enemy.
This is an accurate perspective. HB is a true optimist but cares greatly for his fellow pilots.
Southerner is not so much an enemy, but a collaborator- he does pay dues, but seems to hate the union concept. I think he is a product of working in close proximity with management during his time in OSC.
Because he is happy, he believes that those of us who are critical of B6, are blindly miserable. This, of course, is not true.
If I misdiagnosed your position Southerner, please correct me.
I think Ive been fair.
