Yes, we’re all just pawns of the corporate world however, it’s hilarious that y’all fabricate juvenile reasoning in your minds and fool yourselves that this acquisition didn’t result in a huge windfall when indeed y’all hit a jackpot. Let’s not forget that your masters decided to ditch a hip but failing business. Given the circumstances, y’all scored the best outcome possible and some you still refuse to accept this fact even after it hit you in the face. Regardless of how the SLI turns out, VX pilots have everything to gain.
Wow. A windfall. Really? Lets see, living and driving to the NYC airports, here's my upcoming windfall: all likely NY base closure. Forced to the next closest bases which are all 2,200nm commutes. Or pack up and move and disrupt family network, connections, friends, relatives. At the same time losing PBS to go to crappy line bidding work rules that have no trip-touch pay protections and add back up 75 hrs. And losing the transcon network to be re-deployed as a up/down west coast regional airline, which will mean less efficient schedules, lower block/day, and having to work a lot more to get the same credit. All for $36/hr more. I would gladly give that back and just keep what I had, but you know we can't change what's happened, and we can't change that one company purchased another company.
