It's possible to do, when you ignore half of what you post. In this case, you overlooked the second sentence. The poster was wondering whether the other unionized groups were getting squeezed. That's the context in which the remark was made. To your credit, this thread moves so fast, you probably accidentally latched on to some perceived offense, and didn't read further into the replies.

It was said here before that we all benefit from this merger, and we do. I wouldn't want to be here stand-alone, having ramped up international, in the middle of a huge drop in demand. And you didn't want to be here, stand-alone, to find out about the future of Tokyo, ANC, and the DC-9.

Together we can make a more compelling case to JAL. Together we can actually better feed Asia and the Atlantic. Together we need the DC-9's more than Compass, etc. ANC, unfortunately, is gone. You can argue that it was only axed post-merger if it makes you feel better, but I think the SLI hearings cast a different light.

Let's just be grateful we're not furloughing, and that we have some critical mass together.
