Do you know why Alaska FAs get holiday pay?

This pilot group has no backbone.
We have guys tripping over themselves to accomplish the mission and/or pick up premium trips.
Making cabin PAs, not wearing the lanyard, not reading E-Mails from the MEC, not voting, not contacting their reps, not filing grievances, & believing everything management & TK tell them.
They are beyond apathetic, but at the same time whine about how the "union" should do this or that.
Each pilot needs to look in the mirror.
We have too many selfish Kool-Aid types among us.

Well you are about to get 1,000 pilots that do not buy into of that crap.

I'm getting sick of hearing VX act holier than thou and slinging mud our way. Your side has plenty of yes men picking up open time and working on vacation or just outright selling it and whoring themselfs out. Your premium pay emails get covered fast. We aren't perfect and have long ways to go but your side came in with no contract and no future. They hemorraghed cash and lost more than they ever earned. You had nothing and this merger gives you a 5th place contract which is much better than what you would have gotten if you stood alone. Stop attacking us and work together for a change.

ALPA wants us to believe that wearing the blue will send the same message, but the blue one is the one that's explicitly approved by the manuals, and plus it matches the uniform! The whole point of the orange, as I see it, was that it clashes horribly with both navy blue and dark grey/black. And all of this nonsense culminates in... drum roll... us filing a grievance?? Oh wow I bet management is really shaking in their boots now!! At least this stupid charade is over and we can get back to whining about things that matter, such as literally anything else.

A lot of these guys have decades of experience at other alpa carriers, have seen multiple contract negotiation cycles, and have more backbone than you think.
And we actually had holiday pay up until we adopted your awesome contract.
