I’m just a lurker and someone not affected by this merger...but after AS/VX merge it’ll just be AS. So if anything happens with JB then AS will be one large unified pilot group working together. However, it shakes down how it shakes down. Moving forward from there I’m guessing the newer AS (ex-VX) guys will fight for their side as would JB. It’s human nature and it’s out of anyone’s hands. Just let go and work together. Fight for a great contact TOGETHER. Division just tears you apart. Don’t think for a second management doesn’t enjoy watching pilots squabble with each other.
All that to say: don’t try and stir up drama hilltop flyer. Promote unity. Bitterness is like drinking rat poison and wating for the rat to die.
