You can be angry and indignant and frustrated and outraged that the contract wasn’t followed (and rightfully so) but not getting something you never had in the first place does not ‘harm’ someone.
Who cares if nobody is on furlough? Squealing about ‘your’ green slip makes people look ridiculous and greedy. I’m still not interested in concessions to the PWA, which is the only thing I care about. I don’t care about 23m7 farmers (of which I am not one), green slippers, or IA takers. People can feel free to screech and squeal about whatever they want, but don’t trash the PWA in your haste to get ‘your’ greed slip.
Saying the farmers are following the contract is like having your little sibling hovering a quarter inch from your face saying "I'm not touching you, I'm not touching you. Mom said not to touch you so I'm not touching you".
And again. I'm still waiting for anyone to explain to me how this is leverage on our side. Because QS is not going to stop the 23M7 farming now that it's been codified that CS can't move to the next step of coverage before identifying the harmed pilot. We got back seniority assigned premium flying at the effective cost of giving away auto accept. We gave away GS just to stop IA's
