The insult of the equity offering to employees valued at 5-1 of Series A with 4 planes on property? And where was DN? Nowhere to be found among the rank and file.

That was the beginning of people's desire for ALPA..

Because hope is not a strategy

THIS. Absolutely spot on. It’s sad how poorly the company is run. I bet less than 5% of the pilot group know about how disastrous the UVU program was or that it even existed.

DN, honey, what is this? It's almost as bad as the "About Unions" page at SkyWest.
Imagine investing more into your employees than a website.

DN can GFH at this point.

Wow.

Kind of him to lay it all out there on the interwebs for the general public to see. The more you look around that site, the more entertaining it is.

Didn’t John Lennon have a song about this. Went something like “All we are saying, is give Breeze a chance”?

No, you're thinking about "I am the Walrus".

You’d be surprised how many guys have short term memory though. It’s going to be a close vote but I think ALPA will be voted in. After that, who knows what neeleman will do. His tactics in the past was to “shut the airline down if we have to”.
