I agree. And its the SAME cancer, namely, using every possible legal means to get out of living up to previously agreed to decisions. And I have every confidence that the Easties will end up just as "successful" as Lorenzo ultimately was...

"Some" would. But that "some" is almost exclusively made up of East pilots. The rest of us, who have no direct involvement, but merely watch this circus from the sidelines, are largely in support of the West pilots. That's the fact, and can be seen by how many non-affiliated pilots support the West as compared to the East.

Ugh, nice try. But I don't think so. You are correct in your comparison of the east pilot situation to the Lorenzo situation, except the east pilots are on the same "side" as Lorenzo, when you make your comparison. I do respect the West pilots who are standing up against this fundamental cancer, hence my donation.

Our profession went south when we stopped being a union years ago. No union talk here.
We're in complete agreement here. But that's irrelevant to the topic at hand. Our union is a pathetic patchwork (aka "association") of independent airline unions, each battling their own battles. It shouldn't be that way, but it is.

Oh, so now I'm a scab? I get it. This is the airline equivalent of Godwin's Law. See:
