The LUS seniority integration cost the pilot profession millions. That cruddy contract that you guys lived under for, what, a decade? kept downward pressure on wages and work rules for the rest of the industry thanks to the childish infighting.
My respect to the AS/VX pilots on here and in the cockpits I humbly ride in. You’ve been class acts, and it will pay dividends coming up.
So I suppose you think we should have listened to Delta, took one for the “team” and got preferential hiring starting over at the bottom. Little do you know.
I hope that the AS/VX Pilots can do well. I wish them no ill will. Good luck on your contract. I’ll move on.
