Of course, this summer's impending meltdown will help us. But there is no legitimate excuse for those bailing them out now. All cancellations due to lack of crew help move the company/ BOD toward a deal. Suggesting otherwise is only making excuses for whorish behavior.

It's much more than a "few cancellations here and there" that would happen if we were unified. These things have a compounding affect as planes and crews find themselves out of position.
Plain and simple the guys who rush to help the company to make extra money are being purely selfish and short sighted. They are not in solidarity with the majority of us who are doing "whatever it takes" to get a deal done.
Record performance is NOT helping us but is hurting us at the negotiations table as the BOD sees no reason to change anything given everything is working well

Have a little more patience, act like a grown up. The death throes are already starting.

Gentlemen please take a deep breath and keep our aim where it belongs. You can make change in a positive way or a negative way. You're choice.
Man when this place DOES come unravelled and even if we didn't do a thing wrong all the company will have to do is come on here for evidence. Yikes.
How about unity towards the same end and stop writing things like this on public message boards.

Vlad hit it on the head. Frotter... Go easy man, I'm on board, just trying to not let the childish behavior on here become fodder for lawyers to use against us when it really gets rough... Which it will. My point is, quit pointing your pistols at each other and remember who the real enemy is.
