But hey, we bought Virgin and APLA forgave those individuals when they brought ALPA in to give them acquisition protection.
I'm almost positive there are scabs at VX. On a different note, VX even hired at least one pilot who was terminated from Alaska. These are some of the undesirables I'm talking about, along with ocdp.
