Don't be too hard on these guys, they are quite literally fighting for theirs lives ( or at least life styles). I don't blame them for pulling out every last trick in the book. ALPA 017 is obliged to do what ever it can to save those jobs, our opinion about whether or not its futile is moot.
I still hope that most of the quality individuals get offered positions at Brown if they wish to start over again.
IF they are successful, so be it, we wont be as bad off as they are now. Even if UPS has a furlough, there will be a recall some day. Astar and ABX can't say the same.
Good luck brothers, its going to be an uphill battle.
