If I said 85% everyone would have jumped on it, see you were wrong, it wasn’t by 85%.
How about the exact upgrades to the contract, how about the exact book order. Nope back then most loud VX were still convinced the bus was staying. Go back and look, not obvious then, just obvious now.
Yup, I gave the exact furlough numbers, the union saved that.
Yes, my understanding is SWA kicked our tires last spring, AS talked with B6 but both wanted branding and control. We have been shopping HAL for the past couple of years, and yes UAL is very interested in SEA. There have been so many tea leaves flying of late for HAL, I have to believe something is about to go down. I guess we then find out if SK has to have SEA. I personally want to see us stay independent.
You know why you all hate me? I am happy, I like Alaska Airlines, and I have been very fortunate outside of aviation. I work for Alaska by choice. You all hate everything Alaska, your miserable, rude, bitter, and broke.
You all hate Alaska and I love our not so perfect company, that really makes your little group 30, lose their minds🤭
Just so we're crystal clear, I've never worked a day in my life for VX. And if you've convinced yourself that only former VX pilots could ever dare be dissatisfied with how AS is being run, you're really out to lunch.
I don't think anybody hates you for being happy. I don't think anybody hates you at all. You give yourself too much credit. You're not important enough in any of our lives to hate you. I think people react to you for being a condescending azzhat, that jumps all over them for voicing discontent with AS. You say AS is your side gig but it's very clear AS is your identity, and you have a very hard time differentiating discontent with the company and discontent with OTZeagle.
As far as your predictions go, you're just the town crier, the neighborhood gossip, nothing more. You catch wind of something and then rush to APC to share your "inside" knowledge. It makes you feel important. Like Qanon followers, Only they know the truth...
Sure, AS might get bought, acquire another airline or stay independent. Those are kind of the only options available. When one of them happens, you can't really come back and say, "I told you so!". I've been hearing about our imminent acquisition, demise and growth since the second I stepped foot in the AS flight deck. Does that make all those hundreds of pilots right over the years, when it happens?
Personally, I hope you're right and AS makes a move or we get bought. It would be even better if it would happen in November.
