It is truly right out of some management play book to give the employees another "enemy" (read: cause) to focus on and blame, instead of focusing where it belongs, which is on management themselves.
Actually I didn't need management to tell me that carriers like VX, Skybus, Vangaurd, Western Pacific, National etc are BAD for careers. You haven't been on the other end of the equation. It is very apparent the threat to jobs companies like VX present
As a collective group, we as pilots are our own worst enemies, because we allow ourselves to be led to believe (by management no less) that the enemy is us. Because of this, organized labor (pilots) will continue to struggle to make gains, even in the best of times.
As I said earlier, I don't care if VX is union or not. They have filled their ranks with guys betting on the come. This is becoming the second "oldest profession" act by pilots with SJS.
