What are you talking about? One minute you claim I lack an understanding of the issues. The next I'm a West plant. And now I suddenly know much, much more than I lead on. Are you going to just keep throwing darts until you finally hit something? BTW, keep throwing because I am in no way involved in this SLI any more than you are.

Do you actually think your the only pilot out of 15,000 that makes an effort to stay educated about their career? I have made an effort to remain educated on issues that may effect me or that effect our airline. Sorry you think that makes me something more in your eyes than I am - a pilot trying to stay abreast of his career.

This all seems a little juvenile to me of you playing some "feign game". To what end? You really don't have ANY information that those who need to know don't already know so there is NOTHING you could post that could add any value beyond what is already known.

Why don't you put up the tin foil hat and just use your knowledge to educate, to clarify and to change perceptions about issues that you can clearly and accurately propose and defend? Your time spent on this forum would be much more beneficial for all, particularly yours, and your credibility would obviously increase from what I sense is viewed now.

Well, how can I do that if there is NOTHING I could post that could "be of any value beyond what is already known" ?

Hey, I do want to thank you though. Truly, I do. Our little exchange has intensified a concern of an issue for not just AE flows, but LAA furloughees as part of the broader desire for a longevity component sought and especially by the West.

Again, good luck to you man. No hard feelings.

Are you aware they threaten to sue over the first arbitration hearing that awarded the west a seat? All east all the time.

Thanks for the clarification. It's been a good ride out East due to the attrition, but most of us 3L pilots realize it has been at the West's expense due to USAPA. The sooner this is over, the better for all. It's difficult to get factual information from our reps out East, are you guys confident this process will come to a conclusion next Spring?
