I’ve said it before, if this company make someone entirely unhappy they have three options. 1.) Elect new representation in the hopes they fight for better. 2.) Become the representative and fight to fix what you feel is broken. 3.) leave the company. Everyone is entitled to their opinion but that’s all they are, opinions formed through individual eyes. The facts remain regardless if we believe them or not. AS bought VX. VX no longer exists. The pilot groups will be merged. We will all feel the effects some way or another and no matter who made what 1,2,3 years ago, we’re all tied to the same scale now and will be from here on out. I advocate we funnel the animosity into action for a better future.
Okay then...if it's out of our hands....why are VX peeps acting like they aren't getting a HUGE deal (based on what has been presented) and acting like this is a 100% even merger and not the defacto acquisition like it is? I get it....we need to be solidified for the contract.....that will happen. But trying to stomach a pilot group who doesn't act humble at the end of the day doesn't bode well for integration. You can't tell me AS is going to get a "fair" deal out of this any way shape or form. Our Furloughed guys are getting double bent over and some have the gall to say being put next to a guy who was hired 10-18 years before them is fair....... absolutely ridiculous. The icing on the cake was when someone then says AS's proposal is shooting for the Moon??? I would hope such a ludicrous statement is Trolling, which I would respect, or it's a complete sense of selfish entitlement not based in reality which is kind of scary.
