Your guys have lumped every AS pilot into one group of so called “spineless sell outs”, even though 700 pilots of the current 2000 were hired AFTER the last contract was voted in. We have not yet had a chance to make change at this company and before anyone declares that by simply coming here we’ve “sold out”, look no further than your own circumstances and reasons for being at VX. Before you say you voted in ALPA and change was imminent, remember our CBA was amendable this past Spring and many of US thought real, positive, change was imminent. I think if you were to sit down and compare lists with an AS pilot, you’d find that contrary to your pre judged belief that our priorities are different, you’d be shocked at how similar they are. My main argument has been that neither side comes from a position of superiority and therefore the soap box rhetoric is absolutely meaningless. Every argument has it’s counter argument so why not try and move past this nonsense. We may all be very different people in our daily lives but at work, we’re all pilots so let’s agree to get what we deserve as pilots and the only way of doing that is as one group.
