Less ability for them to retaliate in real life for questioning the Boss.

Yes, their communications strategy is amateur hour and making that more professional like the other unions would be a welcome change.



This is the correct answer. The sycophantic cheering for Andrew needs to stop. He is not a king, he is not actually a mafia boss (though he acts like it), he is a representative. He should accept and consider criticism, regardless of the source, not deny, deflect, and retaliate like he does. It's pretty much known on that site that criticizing the EXCO is non grata and that's wrong if they truly desire a two way forum, not a propaganda dissemination device. It shows his inexperience, narcissism, and internal lack of confidence in his own abilities and thats not a good look.

I haven’t seen that at all. I’ve seen plenty of comments that are appropriately negative towards AR and the union and they still are alive and the comments are still visible. It was the unions best interest to wait it out so a new contract gets better from every other airline. I think that time is ending and senior folks are starting their backup plan. The big question is will the company pay the pilots with the rules they want with an industry standard/ leading contract or be regressive like the last update.
I Unusually agree with what you say because your direct(which hurts feelings so folks don’t like it) but this high school teen drama with AR is off topic.
