You guys are funny. I must have struck a nerve though, I never weighed in on if/how I viewed the terminology. But somebody else defended the use by saying other airlines do... VX doesn’t/didn’t, that’s all I was pointing out. End of statement. A few seemed to get a little upset.

It’s a job. Call the stupid thing a jet, bus, a set of twig and berries... Truth is we are still undervalued schmucks working for a substandard company with a substandard contract with mix matched aircraft, paint, livery, interiors, uniforms, and stupid clip-on ties. Do the job, go home without bending metal or having to do a carpet dance and call it good.

Alaska from the JCBA has tried to play us all against each other and it has worked. Virgin did that very well too... smaller group, smaller issues, but same result. We never got together and worked as one until a perceived slight with the IPO. That took what 8 years?

Let’s not take that long. They are the enemy. Not each other.
