At worst you have…well…this.

It’s like you have some weird parasocial relationship with the president. Dude he loathes you and me. We’re unionized worker bees who have the audacity to fight for our piece of the pie. Why are you carrying his water all the time? Can you critique him on a single point? Is he some kind of god to you?

I mean all this in the nicest possible way, it’s just so strange to me seeing people just so all in on one particular “side”.
THANK YOU for saying this. Post of the year. Politics aside, as unionized pilots you would think we would decry anything that negatively impacts profit sharing at best, but more likely job security and career expectations.
