Having talked to several it seems like some of them are perfectly content and that worries me for what they’d accept in a TA.
I agree there’s lots on the Kool-Aid. It is up to those of us who aren’t to tactfully inform the other side of the story.
I think they will be enlightened organically as we make our way through another section 6 slog. The term YET comes to mind. The PBs probably affected them and this summer will probably affect them, add the section 6 talks grinding to a halt, the eventual NMB involvement, more arbitrations, decisions not in their favor, the inevitable bad mouthing/blaming pilots that comes with all negotiations and even more frequent IROPS and this time next year there won't be any morale left to lose.
