God Speed to the TSA pilots.
Not sure exactly what you're looking for here, but from my spot on my list, I am quite worried about the bottom HALF of the list at my airline in the short term and the whole damn airline in the long. Over 2000 of our dogs have roamed the streets already. Many got to take the tour twice and some for nearly a decade. They didn't eat a Feces Sandwich, they ate the whole "all you can eat banquet". The leftovers were then jammed up their check valves.
These
are uncharted waters. Management thought it was a good idea to cut loose 8Billion of our lifeboats when the seas were calm and the horizon clear. So, before we give the big finger to ALPA, let's look at the entire picture. The last 20 years have not been kind to organized labor for a number of reasons. But since this forum seems to freak out over posts with even a shred of political discourse, we're supposed to keep quiet and not pontificate on why ALPA has only one-half of the cojones they had back when Dubinsky told Wolfe to pound sand. Times and the law are much different now. Votes matter.
I feel bad for Trans States. I feel bad for Piedmont. I feel bad for my newhire buddy at Frontier. Hell, I feel bad for us ALL....scabs excluded of course.
