Dear Margi,
Yes, that’s precisely what I’m suggesting, my friend. I genuinely want to get rid of TEAMSTER. It seems both curious and fitting that you now suddenly cradle the current union, one I earnestly wish to bid adieu.
In the tapestry of your formidable 2,000+ posts, the word "troll" emerges with uncanny regularity, dancing like a mischievous sprite in your verbiage. Are you aware that many here view you that way? What is it about the word "troll" that captivates you so much?
Though I do not stand among the ranks of management, I am untethered by the chains of any "Maury complex," unlike what you and some of our comrades appear to display. Your assertion—that without TEAMSTER, we are but pawns at Maury's whim—lays bare a labyrinthine psyche I implore you to explore.
While I appreciate you as a person, your behavior in the Allegiant Forum is intriguing, especially since you left us many moons ago. A suggestion? Seek the aid of a wise figure to navigate these intricate realms, dear friend, for this forum is not the mystical scroll of a healing sage.
The most disheartening aspect is that you have been right about many things—not necessarily the details, but the overarching themes. Your insights have unsettled the pilot group more than a rogue wind at a wizard's feast, especially among the delusional faction of our pilots and the legion of AR (and GU) supporters and fanboys. You've consistently rubbed salt in their self-inflicted wounds, yet they still don't seem to grasp the point.
Many who departed, as you did, have earned hundreds of thousands more and are set to gain an additional few million dollars over their careers. Many of those who stayed behind express regret in various ways, trying to alleviate it by demanding unrealistically large concessions from management to ease the sting of their decisions.
It’s likely just as baffling to both of us how that our pilot group re-elected AR a year ago. It seems that, as a group, we might be making poor choices that have landed us in our current situation.
Again, WE are the problem!
