Default Depoliticizing Alaska

This is the petition mentioned on the watercooler. I did not create the petition (I didn't even know about it until I read the watercooler!).

https://www.ipetitions.com/petition/...laska-airlines

I hope you have found this post to be non-political. In my opinion, our industry has some significant new threats at our doorstep. Divisiveness is not the answer (no matter how correct you think you might be).

Politicizing issues makes unity much more difficult.

Best wishes to you for a pleasant day

Oh so this didn't get enough attention in the other thread where you first linked it so you started a new one so now we get TWO culture war threads? Thanks a lot.

Sounds like a lot of whining pilots self identifying themselves as racists instead of snowflakes.

The racists ARE the snowflakes. They seem incredibly fragile and live in fear of everything.

I'm doing the Lord's work. Leave the clever sacarstic banter to the professionals.

Oh no! I honestly did not want to increase the level of discourse! Honest!

I didn't think a post with a link that the company originally posted on its official website about depoliticing a topic was going to ruffle feathers. I took the petitions name at face value. My ignorance may just be bliss. And if my post caused you consternation, I'm very sorry.

I for one feel fortunate for our group in light of today's situation with regards to our jobs. We all are very fortunate.

I read through enough pages of the other topic to learn that there are some very strong opinions on both sides of the argument. It seems like the arguments there are more a contest than a means to an end.

I like to learn about other people's opinion on a topic so I can grow and be more thoughtful of other people's point(s) of view.

Name calling and vitriol seem to me to be counterproductive.

At the end of the day we all need to work together to protect one another. There are so many more bumps in the road ahead, many of which we don't even know about yet! Unity can be our best shock absorber.

This divisiveness is very sad. Hopefully we can begin to learn from one another instead of fight one another.

Still, I do wish for anyone reading this, a very pleasant day.
