I think what Mil2Major is saying is there are VX pilots on here, albeit probably the minority given their entire pilot group, are mouthing off on how they are coequals to this acquisition. Many of them started the dick measuring contest and then turned the tables blaming Alaska pilots. Both sides will suffer in QOL but relatively speaking, the VX side has benefited far more than the Alaska pilots, especially effecting junior pilots such as myself. And let's not even get started with the our pilots who were furloughed. I get that both sides will be shooting for the moon with the SLI but given the situation, VX side is overreaching in my opinion. I can't for the life of me see any benefits for junior pilots on the Alaska side. I don't care to fly the bus or do transcons and my pay raise wasn't all that great especially compared to what VX pilots got. Shoulda woulda coulda but I should have gone somewhere else.
Here's a hypothetical question for the VX guys. How would you feel if VX purchased a 7 month old dying start up airline and demanded relative seniority?
