It's embarrassing.
Powerless has never been uttered by me…We certainly do have all the power… We certainly choose to never use it. At least you and I do. I have spent 23 years doing everything that ALPA is afraid to ask us to do. I assume that you have too…Judging by our success you and I must be the only two that do. If the other 2800 would start doing those things we would wield a large stick at the “table”. What will never get us that “stick” is pilot shortages, attrition, legacy hiring etc…For an “airline” like Alaska, those are phantom conditions that don't exist. Or at least not in the last 23 years.
