Hopefully we値l take all the MAX options and put in an order for more mainline aircraft so that we can continue on our path of steady growth for the next 20 years. Should bode well for everyone currently on property.

This^. I知 an EX-VXer, still on the bus. I give two $hites which airframe I知 on. I had no loyalty to VX, I have no loyalty to AS. I have loyalty to my family first and then this pilot group. All I care about is contract and QOL improvements, mainline airframe growth, and a profitable company. The rest is hurt feelings and d___ measuring contests.
Thank you. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Something to add: No matter how a pilot found themselves on the Alaska seniority list, I strongly believe everyone benefited from the merger in this crisis. Who knows if VX would have made it? Maybe, maybe not. On the other side of the house, those 71 pesky Airbuses Alaska wants to get rid of made furlough substantially more costly. Alaska did not agree to the furlough mitigation programs out of the kindness of their hearts, they did it to save money. When the VX aircraft are gone, the efficiencies of a single fleet will return along with the ease of furlough when the next black swan rears its head. Its time for proper scope protections in our contract. |

Without question, downgrades and furloughs would have happened in no time had we been single fleet. Would venture a guess that there would be 6-700 guys on furlough right now except for the Airbus/Boeing fleet. There would have been no EIL program after Oct 1st....

I'm sure flying with AK22 is very similar to winning the lottery!
