Sheesh, without backbone, we might just have folks running SLI out of seniority. Oh wait. Nevermind.

Am I missing some sarcasm here or are you really making excuses for management's flagrant disregard of the contract? Mind you, both Sam and Scott voted to pull down the SILs, hell even Sailingfun said he agreed with the vote. Siding with management on this one puts you in a very special minority of pilots.

Hopefully the line has been drawn with JVs as well. Maybe the company can bring a bat and glove to the game and play ball. We can’t continue to just roll over, especially in good times.
