Sounds very credible indeed. I now recall that GK does tell all the boards decisions to the new hires. They have such a fantastic open door policy, CEO to new hire, there really are no secrets. Thank you for securing and sharing such reliable and valuable information, I had no idea.

Do not understand the whole merger/buyout love on APC. Everyone of them ends up being a seniority list integration nightmare.

AS has been being bought/merged since at least 1990. First it was AA. Then DL. Then SWA. Then AA again. Then AS was buying Reno. Then AA again. Then SWA. Then AS/HA merger.

None of it happened. The VX acquisition was the first blip in that 28 year history and that was just because they had so much money laying around they had to buy something.. The boys at Angle Lake aren't going to kill the golden goose anytime soon.

Is this all coming from the VX side? I haven’t been experiencing this pit of misery you guys speak of. Sure, the contract can be greatly improved but that time will come soon. This is just a job. I can’t imagine it having total control of anyone’s happiness. Are the folks you’re flying with total sh!tbags? What’s causing such despair? Seems like if you’ve got a good crew and a decent overnight, you’re days at work can’t be so totally filled with unhappiness.

believe what you want. These walls are funny. First you hate 'em, then you get used to 'em. After long enough, you get so you depend on 'em. That's 'institutionalized.'
