Listen kids...I don't think anyone is going to get excited about this whole SLI process. Us RAH folks think it's gone on long enough, FAPA obviously sees something they don't like, and management is probably laughing all the way to the bank. The simple fact of the matter is you don't invade Russia in the winter and you don't fight a war on 2 fronts. Valuable resources are being used aruging amongst ourselves when RAH should be using them on a new contract. A contract that we should be getting the assistance from our more experienced FAPA coworkers but aren't...cuz they don't want anything to do with us.

The simple fact of the matter is that 2 lists working under 2 contracts is only good for the company...not any of the pilot groups. I'm not advocating some hastily thrown-together decision that does not recognize the role F9 pilots have played in keeping their company afloat...but I also think that they are not really recognizing just how untenable their position was before RAH came along.
