Hard to find a "neutral" one since the new hire classes were also split into east and west.

My buddy was hired into the west and thinks this is all bullsh*t, but I'm pretty sure thats what any normal person not throwing a tantrum would think.

Do I think the Nic award was fair? No.

But there are a lot of things that aren't fair when it comes to this business. Yes the easties have been getting bent over of most of their entire airline careers, but their is no question that the way they have decided to "stand up" for themselves is beyond slimy.

The westies didn't screw anybody over...they are just fighting for what was found to be rightfully theirs.

It is clear the East has made this personal and forgot who is truely to blame...unfornately the law/a judement is a hard thing to go up against.

Good luck to all...things aren't looking good. Even without the squabble.
