You’re missing the point. Many of your fellow VX pilots are slinging a lot of mud and calling AS pilots, among other things, “spineless, weak, clowns, yes men, etc. Many VX pilots are chastising the AS pilot group for accepting less in order to remain at Alaska. This is hypocritical because every VX pilot has done just that. You accepted less pay, less retirement, no scop, no contract and rolled the dice on a start up airline that lost money, in order to be at VX. This isn’t something I made up to make you mad, these are just facts. IDK what brought you to VX or why you chose to stay but something did and that goes for every AS pilot. You say you accepted less because you were having fun at work and another poster says he accepted less because of his QOL. Personally, I don’t care but maybe that’s why those AS pilots who’ve voted yes felt the same way. Maybe they thought their QOL was good or the were having fun at work. I haven’t been here long enough to get a vote on a contract yet but this “my airline is better than your airline “ nonsense does nothing to improve either of our situations. None of this is intended to make you angry, it’s just to point out the hypocrisy of either group trying to call the other out for not “standing up for themselves “.
