Closing MSP would be disastrous if AS acquired SY. The only reason anyone works there is because they live in the Twin Cities.

Acquiring SY and then closing MSP would be the most expensive 737 delivery in history.

Yeah but if they stay with Alaska then they can make cool posts with sweet hashtags like "I am Alaska." Also, you're given the opportunity to comment on company articles giving over the top thanks to management like you're thanking the great leader of North Korea.. non compliance results in reminders of how to comment

I'm currently watching Congressional hearings about airline customer service. Based on the kinds of questions being asked by (very ignorant Congressmen), it doesn't seem any more mergers are likely.

Give it a month. Everyone will forget about it.

That's funny! I thought the same thing when they put out an article on how to comment. Reading the comments section is like reading propaganda.

We, the employees, will find out on CNN and usually the last to know. It was the same in the military. So much for the "tip of the spear" theory.

Be careful what you wish for. The Company wanted an 11% across the board pay cut, but the MEC held out for arbitration. That arbitration that cost the Captains a 22% pay cut and the F/Os a 30+% pay cut.

How would you compare the airline industry environment between now and then?

Just sayin'. Arbitrators often consider more than pay scales. You might find yourself compared with Spirit and Frontier instead of Delta and American.

I believe the union knew what they were getting into with Kasher and they still went for it. Of course, none of us on here can neither confirm nor deny this as factual info. Ego and emotions got the best of the MEC/NC.
You're right, the arbitrators will consider many factors but I for one will not be voting for anything less than industry leading in all three areas. None of us should accept anything less. This pilot group is entitled and deserves the best. It is long overdue. After all, we are the #1 airline in the U.S. by every standard including profit margin. I'm onboard. Are you?
