Yeah, I guess you’re right, a foul ball would have kept you in the game...

You’ve mentioned before that you went to VX prior to JFK ever being a possibility, so hadn’t you already resigned yourself to being on or commuting to the West Coast? Seems like in the long run you’re still at a west coast airline which you agreed to work for on day 1. I hope it works out for all of us and we can ALL be happy one day.

Yes this is true, can’t really deny any of that.


And jetBlue wouldn’t have been a foul ball. It would have been buried deep for a grand slam. Okay maybe not a grand slam but at least a 2-run homerun.

To each their own. For an East Coast guy, yes, much better scenario. No matter what the outcome is on the 11th, I hope we can all realize that no amount of negativity will change the outcome. A little venting is in order I’m sure but after that, let move forward and make this place better for pilots on both coasts. Oh, and those sprinkled in fly over country

So my question would be to the Alaska guys. If you merged with jetblue you would still be fighting for date of hire. What dirt would you try and throw around to prove your point like you are with virgin guys? Profit? Contract? Scope? Just wondering.

I’m just a lurker and someone not affected by this merger...but after AS/VX merge it’ll just be AS. So if anything happens with JB then AS will be one large unified pilot group working together. However, it shakes down how it shakes down. Moving forward from there I’m guessing the newer AS (ex-VX) guys will fight for their side as would JB. It’s human nature and it’s out of anyone’s hands. Just let go and work together. Fight for a great contact TOGETHER. Division just tears you apart. Don’t think for a second management doesn’t enjoy watching pilots squabble with each other.

All that to say: don’t try and stir up drama hilltop flyer. Promote unity. Bitterness is like drinking rat poison and wating for the rat to die.

And you’re over here throwing around nonsense hypotheticals why? Don’t you guys have enough drama in your own forums to wet your appetite? Nobody is talking about Jet Blue over here.

And like you, I don't have a dog in this fight.
Errr no. Alaska pilots would lose, but we shall see shortly. Good luck to all.
