This!
Fact, AS did not save us. They did not buy a limping VX on the verge of bankruptcy. They had to fight to get us. We were attractive enough to other airlines(for whatever reason) who were more than willing to buy us. We would have been just fine without the AS acquisition.
Fact, on average VX's combined hourly rate, 401K, Scheduling and QOL provisions worked out to be better than AS's for pilots with equal longevity.
Fact, we were the cooler airline..... I kid, I kid..... Lol
So when some of our AS brothers come on to the forum with their superiority complex suggesting we won the lottery and should be grateful.... That thar is fight'n words y'all! Arghhh Lol
Hence as KnockKnock says, the circle goes round and round....
Some of us give and get some jabs without taking it seriously, but some of our brothers are having heart attacks, frothing at the mouth, and popping blood vessels and generally embarrassing themselves and their fraternities past and present.
Wouldn't be surprised if they've been a few sick calls as a result! Lol
