So from those of us that do still have a dog in this stupid fight in spite of our attempts to leave it, thank you for volunteering to put a stop to the seemingly endless cycle that pervades the rest of this forum:
1. "You guys (AS/VX) needed us more than we needed you"
2. "Let me (VX/AS) tell you why you're wrong, and it's you that got the windfall, not us"
3. "Guys, we need to be one pilot group. 2020! No scope no vote!"
4. "Totally! But just to clarify a few things... "
5. See 1
Please don't disappoint me by replying anymore.
You guys really can’t handle the truth. A trait of a loser for sure. Truth hurts, I get it. Owning up to one’s flaws and working to improve oneself is a key to success. I’m just saying.
Let me correct a few things for you:
1) Replace with, "You guys (AS/VX) needed to go away” and it happened at a cost of $4 billion. Less than 10 busses, a base closure, and a bunch of whiny undesirables who hate being part of Alaska hardly qualifies as a need. VX was just an empty shell.
2) Replace with, “Let me (AS/VX) tell you why you're wrong, and it's you that got the windfall”. 40%+ pay raise, real 401k contribution (not match), improved healthcare, and most importantly a JOB/career without even lifting a finger.
3) You got that right but 1 out of 5 is still a major fail.
I have 2 job offers and I am also on the way out. Instead of living in denial and anger, you guys should do something about it. Undesirable or not...you know who you are. Good luck to all. Ciao!
