I've noticed that if you want to know what a pilot REALLY thinks about a contentious inter-pilot issue, talk to the person they're sleeping with. In my experience, they give you the straight scoop! Furthermore, what anyone thinks about the ISL is irrelevant as long as we remain civil to each other and unified for 2020. Having said that, I am also pleasantly impressed with the civility I've seen since the announcement. I jumpseated on a Boeing last night and was treated very graciously by the crew.

Good job guys! Lets show 'em we're ready for 2020.
I think it really does speak to the quality of individuals we really have at one company now. This was an impossible SLI, merging polar opposite companies when we were forced together. I think people are finally getting it. We are all going to be fine and we are way better off unified fighting against management then fighting amongst ourselves.

Cause they received a windfall of stolen seniority?

I agree. I met a few 737 guys in sfo yesterday and they were really pleasant and ready to fight for our future

And if I ever see Knockknock in person I’ll buy him a beer!

After years of being a Captain I was forced to take that stupid “Wearing the Fourth Stripe” there was about 10 VX pilots attending.I must say hangin with you all made that conference much easier to bear and every interaction I’ve had with any VX crews for that matter were pleasant. Except for the one D@#$#-t at the SFO Hilton bar that was running his mouth off. But AS has lotsa those types too. We are all one group now and can move on. Just my 1.5 cents.

Most of the guys I flew with didn't care much about the SLI, they were more worried about the SH!T contract we are about to inherit. That's going to affect their QOL way more than a few numbers above or below them. Hope the company is ready for a fight with 800 guys and girls that have no sympathy for company propaganda.

I have a couple of VX friends. They might be civil here, but they talk sh*t about you AS folks in private. They expect another windfall with the seniority integration.
