In Closing
As we get closer to a comprehensive TA, the likelihood that you will hear false rumors of a deal will only increase. One thing is certain, individuals who “leak” inaccurate or out-of-context information have many different agendas. The resultant “negotiating in public” via trial balloons can damage our ability to maximize leverage at the table. We ask that you trust this process and your union’s commitment to bringing you nothing less than the C2019 you’ve earned. Only trust information from official sources: the NC, the MEC and your LEC Representatives.
Thank you for your continued engagement and support. Your unity and resolve are needed now more than ever to help push this contract over the finish line.
In Unity,
Eric, *******, and Rich

Oh snap I got called one of the 3 Stooges. I'm honored to be in the hall of fame of someone who took their ball and ran home after getting critiqued about their free "newsletter" investment advise. Wonder how that portfolio is doing. Down 70%? 80%?

If someone posts something stupid - by all means call them out on it, but the whole "narrative" theme is getting tiresome. I often challenge Sailingfun when I disagree with him but make no mistake - he is one of the most knowlegeable posters on here. Do I always agree with him - hell no, but so what - I like hearing different opinions. The last thing we want is an echo chamber. I appreciate your opinions as much as anyone's - keep em coming.

Lol. This whole thread is full of dumb posts. Mostly by the three stooges. I can’t say their names because they cry to the mods. They have fun when they sail. 3=7+7+7 ?? Last but not least a guy who completely blanked when he signed up for APC and so he uses two letters OOO and FFF.

I still don't know how some think that a bunch of dudes on a web forum are undermining anything. Nobody in their right mind, certainly not the company, believes that this forum or Chitchat represent a majority of the pilots. If they do, we have a really stupid bunch of people running this company, and I don't believe that for a second.
