If we hadn’t been behind. There would have been no reason for the union.

The reason all legacy pilots are so cheerful and have so much respect for their leaders is that they have meat eating, whiskey drinking pilots running route planning and aircraft acquisition, not millennial beta-males sitting around drinking La Croix Papplemousse sharing craft beard oil. Did you hear they're getting rid of the uniform pants and making pilots wear skinny jeans? How will anyone respect my authoritah if I look like a non-revving FA? Just another example of the many negative changes that are always happening in this volatile industry.
