At
no point did I deny the "animosity" or the "riding of coat tails," I just think it's hilarious that you all truly believe we don't realize the obvious. That we are so blind sided by Jerry and friends that we'd gladly forfeit all human rights to have the chance to be employed by them. Don't be so naive!

We are "arguably" the best and even if we were "undisputedly, hands down, no doubt about it, the best airline" someone would argue otherwise.
BTW, add our bonuses and the fact that we don’t have to pay 1.95% in dues, to our CR2/7/9 rates and we’re ASA plus 4-10% (based upon what year you're in, what seat you hold and we have the w2's to prove it). Argue if you will but I voted yes for ALPA for other reasons than pay but the numbers speak for themselves and if you want to argue about just pay then there you have it.
SKW isn't perfect but their better than 97+% of the industry and their "arguably" the best. Call it "settling," call it what you will but that's why SKW's "arguably the best."
