Kirby may be tired of antagonizing American. Who does that leave?
Meanwhile, we won't spend a dime to improve and we keep everyone in the dark about the 'plan'. He's over there running a modern airline. We need to pay attention.
I couldn't care less how much money United or American made because there is absolutely nothing I could do or say that would change anything. I'll continue to show up, fly my contract, and hope the people who get paid to make decisions continue to make us profitable. I hope United and American do well because that means, hopefully, their pilots do well which means we will do well as a pilot group.
