Don’t worry. Once you get your blue indoctrination class you’ll learn blue speak:
employees = crewmembers
stews = inflight
pilots = flight ops
gate agents = airport operations (AO)
bag throwers = ground operations (GO)
Coach = core
business class = mint
profit sharing = blue math tricks that equal 0.0%, 0.2% on a good year.
CBA = this document that may or may not be honored
B6ALPA = this organization that you pay a lot of money to that may or may not have your back, depending on their own personal (and national’s) interests.
LOA = a document that you may or may not get a vote on that is likely codifying a giveaway of the above CBA document, but even if you get a vote, you’ll be part of the weakest/low expectation pilot group in the majors, so there’s a good chance you’re giving something away if it makes it to a vote.
welcome aboard if it happens!
