i guess you could say I’m POff’d.
Yep, I say stay the course and hold the line. When push comes to shove, we shove. EB says we won’t strike. I say they can’t let us strike. A few days of a strike is devastating to the company. Not only because of revenue lost, but it’s bad for the image and investors really don’t like it. Imagine facing the board and investors with a looming strike.
We have pilots who are not where they want to be financially. I imagine it’s stressful to them to face a strike, but it’s much more stressful for the company.
This is not a time to back down. We are in a great position and have shown unity. American and United have also shown resolve. Our position has greatly strengthened over the past 30 days.
