Maybe the angry crowd is the ex-VXers, because they were aware from the get go how bad AS contract is, and have been the canary in the coal mine since then. Many legacy ASers in the beginning were in their bubble telling us we had won the lottery, things are great at AS, etc.

Even families fight and argue amongst themselves as we seek a solution to our differences.

The great news I think is that even they, the legacy ASers, are beginning to realize/admit how bad it is here, and it seems like we are ready UNITE with regards to exploring all legal options available to secure a decent contract.

I commend you for making peace with your reality here at AS, but quit knocking those who choose to voice their discontent, agitate for change, and I presume would be willing to be in the front row if the call to action goes out.

No amounts of rehashing history and going back and forth over other members is going to change anything. Ganging up on and attacking people like EJ isn't helpful. The blame game is pointless because right now it accomplishes nothing. Ultimate bottom line: pilots are unified, the union knows what the pilot group wants, needs, and expects, and we have the best group of people representing us at the table.

You just keep throwing yourself in the line of fire trying to defend that awful thing.

Both of you just end up coming off as whiners. That's why some respond back with "you're still here" and "why don't you leave, everyone else is hiring."

I thought my previous post was actually reasonable and with a unifying message. Apparently not.
