I'm sorry but totally inaccurate characterization, and only people inside the industry would know that that is inaccurate. Very irresponsible as a Rep or at least ALPA member.
and potentially at the risk of agreeing with you. I think an online Tucker Carlson audience likely already has thier mind made up about those things and she is just a providing license/certfication/ credentialized confirmation of thier beliefs.
I’m in agreement with Tired Soul. Not everything said was wrong…but when addressing the age 67 and letting the seniors stay on to teach the juniors something I cringed. We have a lot of great new captains that are Lost Decade folk. We have plenty that will step up and mentor (same for us at WN).
As for Tucker, I can’t help but think the general American public just doesn’t understand. I think he jumped the gun to get a whistleblower’s statement without doing a bit of journalism background checking.
I would have passed on this one. There by the grace of God I go. I find myself starting every trip now with Alan Shepard’s prayer….
