The only place I ever hear this rumor get spread is on this board. Get over yourself.
Personally, I'm happy the real world (it's the place outside of your hotel room) does not operate like this. Every day it's another "Your company sucks because of this..." "My company is taking over this..." blah blah blah. Personally, I'm going to start a rumor that Skywest voted down ALPA because they're becoming communists and have plans to merge with AMTRAK and Greyhound to control the countries modes of transportation. This will be endorsed by Comair when they merge seniority lists with Delta on a 3-1 basis with UAL stapled at the bottom. Oh, and selected members from the pilot groups at RAH and XJT are going to meet at the next Wrestlemania to determine once and for all whose going to start flying outsourced CAL 787's. Colgan's going to be the special guest referee.
Unless it's sittin' on the ramp painted, it's all a bunch of crap.
