Airline unionism in modern America is a shell of what it once was. I don't ever see that changing for the better.

As in all aspects of the plugged in, tiktok generation (all ages), we are a fragmented, never-unified group and society. Whoever controls the message, controls the outcome. In this case, management, through careful indoctrination by F&H wins. All the picketing, bluster, and hubris over the cycle means nothing if you won't even use the available weapons to fight the battle. Or even know what they are.

For anyone here blaming Alaska and Delta, they may have settled, but THIS employee group is NEVER going to lead the charge. We never have, and we never will. It's laughable for any of you to blame other pilot groups.

It could be worse I guess. So many here would have had us fighting this from the position of TA1 from the last cycle. At least we have Harvey Milqtoast as our average man, rather than Jeremy Jellyfish. We'll get em next time, eh slugger?
