Thread has yet again dwelled into a VX vs AS pi$$ing match.
Btw, 1 in 4 voted no to ALPA. And quite a few guys refused to join and be members, while the rest of us paid our 1.9% dues starting Oct 1, 2015. These are our fellow ALPA brothers. Funny, I don’t hear them complaining about ALPA now after the AS merger. If they feel screwed in the SLI, how do they think a stand-alone VX or VAPA would have fared in an integration? Worst of all, it took all the way to the Agency Shop LOA to get some of the last holdouts to pay up.

More flash in the pan than anything else.

Things I can count on at AS: My seat being in the full up position when I arrive at the aircraft. My crew meal requiring an unusual amount of hot sauce to be edible. The FA not even introducing them self and rudely asking me what the flight time is. My schedule getting worse every month. AS posts on APC being completely inaccurate, devolving into Legacy vs VX and merger rumors that reek of the pilot group's desperation for any kind of change that will never come.

A few other things you can count on in an "Alaskan Jet".
The rudder pedals being run all the way forward so that there is no way to reach them unless you are Kareem Abdule Jabar.
The seat being jacked to the top of it's extension so that there is no way you could get into the seat without banging your head on the HUD combiner.
Two full bags of trash and an occasional drink left in the cockpit.
Window shades stuffed in the corner (not in the bag) or hanging off the windows by one suction cup.
Who are these people? Why didn't their Mom raise them better?
