To bad the same can’t be said about you!

Why?
Because I told you how the SLI would pan out... And you don’t like it so you are going to take your ball, go home, and throw a tantrum as you leave

That's a lot of words and a lot of assumptions based on who knows what. I am older than most, far from senior and have zero interest in the PNW. Not that it matters. You apparently do not understand what I said. Not surprising, you do not listen. I said nothing about the merger other than it does not matter and you may well be right.

No, I would not be surprised at who you are.

I was speaking to YOU. I was speaking to who YOU show yourself to be based on the way you choose to behave in every single discussion in which you bring your condescending "I'm in the know" "I'm the smartest guy in the room" tone. You speak down to anyone and everyone. I care not what you have or think you have in your life. The way you choose to treat others will come home to roost, it is part of who you are and it will not serve you well if you don't figure that out. You know the guy in the crew room everyone else looks at and wonders how he has so deceived himself into thinking he is smart and respected? You are that guy. You are the know it all guy that people talk about. You are the guy that we shake our heads at. You are the butt of jokes in the classroom. You can delude yourself in to believing it is just here online, but it is not.

It is a lack of character, discretion, and maturity.

You are that guy.

Anyone claiming to know how the SLI will play out has no real credibility. They may or may not be in the know but APC sure isn't the place to post insider information.
In regards to VX pilots' windfall, it's 100% true. You have to give Mea some credit because he's right on. VX pilots would have never negotiated a 40% pay raise on their own to begin with. Many VXers claim that this is their 4th+ airline but why is that? Let's face it, many who ended up at VX are undesirables and the rest were using VX as a stepping stone. A normal person with an average or better IQ doesn't choose VX over the big boys and/or Alaska. VXers can cry all they want but you guys scored BIG. To reiterate, windfall=40%+ pay raise, a 401K worth a damn, and a job. You all could have just gone the way of Aloha. Accept reality and move on.

Wow. Another clearly ignorant post. Timing in this industry is everything. Timing dictates careers, not being desirable or undesirable. Many carriers failed when no one but VX was really hiring. That doesn’t make those pilots undesirable. And pilots have very little to do with how well or poorly a company does. Anyone with any experience in the airlines knows these basic truths.

Not at all. I said to bad the same could not be said of you because you don’t treat anyone like an adult. You keep proving my point every time you post.

All fine and dandy till JFK closes now it’s fubar

40%??? Not even 30% was the reality and less than 50% in profit sharing compared to last year. And whatever that performance payout thing is, it’s less than 30% of what we use to get. The good thing is we get to look forward to a massive decrease in time at home and lot more time staying in hotels. So there’s always an upside to everything.

Timing is important but it isn't everything. I could have gone to VX and some of my FOs and others from the regionals did. It's a choice. The excuse of "no one but VX was hiring" is poor at best and you know it. The marketable and able bodied were getting hired at more desirable airlines, hence the word "undesirables". Regardless of how and why you ended up at VX, it matters no more. This discussion is about windfall and VXers got a big one.

Well when I got hired at vx allegiant was hiring, and of course now I realize I should have gone there. 20/20.
