Now the very people who helped make most of that happen, through our union, are trying to help some of the list out that got their pensions slashed or taken away and furloughed for up to almost 6 years.

The very system that you will benefit from, have benefitted from and can look forward to benefit from is not up to your satisfaction because it wants to help the old guys who got the shaft. But all you can focus on is what happened to you as UNA’s (not perfect, was stressful, but worked out well-thanks Alpa and the pilot group for not caving and pushing very hard for the VEOP, on top of the great deal made for UNA’s who double dipped while we were on reduced ALV’s or RSV GAR) instead of looking at the total big picture and sacrifice made for all. I’d be willing to bet a big group of UNA’s made more during that timeframe due to double dipping. We couldn’t do that.

So now when Alpa is attempting to make a very big wrong a better right, some of you are selfish and can’t see it for what it is. You want yours and screw the older seniority. No matter what they gave up and fought hard for what you have now.

Some of you will never understand even if you get hit by the clue bat in the forehead. A lot was given up and we’ve been trying hard to get it back. We all doubled down during Covid, wrote our reps and supported the very good UNA plan and ensured the UNA crowd didn’t get hosed like we all had before
I’m calling your BS. You may have supported COBRA payments but you never supported anything else. You were a vocal opponent to any LOA with the words “furlough mitigation” attached before you ever saw language. Your post history shows you supported furloughs happening, going as far as to say you think furloughs should have happened.
