Sorry, I have no union "volunteer" experience since my first airline gig was at Alaska which was very brief and I'm new to my second airline, another legacy carrier. While you were wining and dining on union dues, I was keeping you and your family safe. So, what's your excuse for working for a non-unionized undercutting start up airline that didn't make it through infancy?
Congrats at your new gig. And seriously, thank you for your service, but there’s a decent number of folks on the VX side who lost their “retirement” gig and needed a J.O.B. They paid their dues. They did volunteer work. They’ve walked the line. To insinuate that all the people from Virgin were “scab-like” is laughable. “Scab-like” is a term best used for MEC leadership that negotiates a sweetheart management deal while selling their constituents down the river which, as I understand it isn’t a foreign concept at Alaska.
A LOT of our VX brethren know what it takes to FIGHT for an appropriate contract. I’m ready to lock arms with my VX brethren ANY day.
