(really this group consist of about 60% of the 580 or so VXrs... so 350ish) This group gets all the reasonable protesters at AS fired up with lies and half truths. They push the throwing bricks and molotov Cocktails, to the total demise of the group as a whole. There is no vengeance from the company, just no favors either. 385, will soon get there 18-36mos off and there will be no guilt on the management side. We after all made our bed and now we get to sleep in it.
Maybe the "reasonable protesters" as you call it is exactly what AS management has preferred and taken for granted over the years, because while L-AS pilots fought the fight and did push for change, their "reasonableness" have always allowed management to get the better of them?
Could it be that with the "Angry 8" in the picture, management's usual gains at the pilots' expense have been harder to come by, hence the effort to demonize L-VXrs and pit them against their L-AS brothers in an effort to weaken the extraordinary unity that have been building between the two?
OTZ, could you articulate for us some of the lies and half truths that the "Angry 8" have been pushing so that we can be informed, as I honestly was not aware of this deception.
