Well, that’s sort of just it. Nobody has actually been alienated, but they may feel alienated. So by feeling alienated they created a tantrum with other people that need, for some real reason untold, to also feel victimized. With enough of that they invent grievances, create stories/scenarios based on poor information, and pretend they know intimately the super secret conspiratorial intentions of Scott Kirby/Todd Insler/Whoever. It’s nothing more than emotional lashing out and it’s certainly no base of anything that functions.

Now, there are certainly some good people that have gotten themselves enraged with this TA through all the social media and forum nonsense. Others are just plain self-serving or constantly needing a cover for their true intentions. I’m reminded of one question on a Q&A call of a captain that asked why we are letting the bottom 1/3rd vote because they’d obviously only vote ‘yes’ (which isn’t true). I thought satirically to myself, “Why should we let the top 1/3 vote because some spent decades squandering retirement and making poor financial decisions so they’ll obviously vote ‘no’, right?” Obviously that’s ridiculous, but just as ridiculous as that captain’s reasoning. That kind of “loud and militant” person doesn’t drive good union agenda or make this a better place. It’s just self-serving garbage. I do not find myself on that side of this, but to each their own. I’m just happy it’ll be done tomorrow.
