There YOU go again, grossly distorting what I'm saying into a straw man argument of your own creation. You do you.

Jim Jordan: working against America?

Ilhan Omar: working against America?

Donald Trump: working against America?

Joe Biden: working against America?

A large percentage of the American population believe two of the above people are working against America while, simultaneously, a large percentage of Americans believe those same two people are working for America. What's the truth? I don't know for sure. Do you?

You and I disagree on what it means to support this pilot group and SWAPA. That doesn't mean I'm working against this pilot group or SWAPA. I don't think I am.

You see things differently. I perceive the unquestioning, unblinking faith in the direction SWAPA is currently taking that you appear to me to espouse to be the sort of mindset that will lead us straight into another industry-lagging contract resulting in what to me are undesirable outcomes like spouses being denied treatment for cancer care, fellow pilots being kicked to the curb as soon as their sick time expires, work rules that treat us like rented mules, significantly less lifetime career compensation versus the Big Three, and a seven-figure deficit in retirement after a 30-year career compared to Delta and United. To me, that's working against the interests of this pilot group.

You probably don't see it that way. That's fine.

And btw, in reference to your question about "proof," on post 26, off the top of my head, I listed eight reasons why I feel the way I do and I specified that it was a stream of consciousness post - meaning I was writing what came to mind at the time. I'd also add that the only place in "Flight Plan 2020" I can find that talks specifically about "industry-leading" contractual improvements is in terms of retirement. You can disagree with what I've listed and their significance. That's also fine.

I don't think I've posted about specific allegations of some sort of plot as you seem to insinuate.

I've talked about "signs" and "smoke signals" - ie indications - that I perceive coming from SWAPA that hint to me that we're not heading in the direction of ending up with an industry-leading contract. Hopefully, if that's actually the case, corrective action can be taken before it's too late.

Please engage with what I'm actually saying versus your own made-up, warped version of what I'm saying.
