Then I am incorrect and I apologize for spouting nonsense based on an incorrect perception.
I am just angry at how much my quality of life has been destroyed by being acquired by what I used to believe to be a legacy well run airline. I should step away from the keyboard for awhile.

I’ve said it before, but now, in the wake of the contract survey, I gotta call out a gross generalization.... There are THREE pilot camps at Alaska now...not two....and it’s not legacy VX, and legacy AK. So get that out of your head. It’s not true, and it doesn’t help.
1. Actively engaged forward thinking Alaska pilots who are doing the heavy lifting and leaning forward.
2. Apathetic Alaska Pilots, who are distrustful of their union (which is understandable if you know the history), BUT, are winnable if the leadership continues along a path of transparency, strength and ethics.
3. “All about me” Alaska Pilots (just like any airline) who are disengaged, and totally good with the current contract.
Based on the contract survey.... that last group is only about 9-12% of the Alaska pilot group. So, please stop with the whole “you legacy Alaska Pilots” bs rhetoric. The vast majority want change.
If/when you run into someone who doesn’t.... let it go... they’re the minority, and not worth your time.

Then they'd show up at the MEC office wanting to file a grievance over a presumed contract violation without having the first clue what was in it.
Hopefully with the retirements, the VX pilots, the Kasherstrated and the new guys you'll have enough voters to make some important changes, many (i.e. scope) that should have been in there 20 years ago.
Best of luck and keep the faith with each other. That's the ONLY way things will change at AS.

87.5% survey completion. 91% survey participation. Greater survey participation than any other ALPA union in the last 5 years. 14 points higher participation percentage than the next highest ALPA carrier.
I realize that buried in those 87.5/91% numbers are also prob a a small minority who theoretically don’t care, but, it’s the only data point we have for now.

What’s the 3.5% difference? People who started but didn’t complete?
