Thanks AV80R and SaltyDog,

It is from the heart that I write these posts, because I have been on both sides of the merger/furlough story. I'm glad that such a great group will be getting more business and stability, but I am very disappointed about the coldness and insensitivity of some of these posts on this forum... Not even, "Hey dude, sorry for your bad luck...". Just cold matter-of-fact it's good for me/us posts from some. Heck, they can even feel that way, just don't voice it publicly. Or at least they should have the courtesy to gloat (or even be realistic) in the IPA Bar and Grill.

I, too, would be happy for the additional business and stability if I were a UPS pilot; I just wouldn't be proclaiming it publicly. Like you said, it's an unnecessary post and just salt in the wounds of those about to lose their jobs. And like VictorBravo said, "We are all in the same boat in the end fellas. Something to consider."

Thanks for being sensitive, respectful, and encouraging to those fellow pilots at Astar and ABX in such a precarious situation. You represent your IPA and all fellow pilots with honor. May the wheel of justice treat you well.

Thanks and take care.

In Unity,
