It tells a lot that most of the angry snowflakes on the MB cannot comprehend that a pretty important part of the group falls under what you wrote: "I’m not a pro management guy 100%. I’m not a pro union guy 100%. I think you’re both crazy."
And when your lynch party turns enough people off.

Luthi said he needed October. Many of us did.
Attrition will continue to drive the most leverage I’ve seen in this contract debate.
Y’all need to realize that they are covering the schedule with Selloffs and 70% aircraft availability months out. The VEDs and VAWDs are there for added reliability but they could eliminate them tomorrow.
Question: What happens when corporate eliminates an expense like VEDs and VAWDs from pilots who won’t take them? They get a bonus.
So, to be clear, you’re advocating the Bobo and AJ get a bonus by eliminating VAWDs and VEDs by saving money? Conversely, if pilots take VAWDs and VEDs and save Selloff money, Bobo and AJ get a bonus by saving Selloff money.
