Ultimately, my question is will I be added to some list even though I fly my total line value? It seems net zero to me.

We both know it, we had our chance 6 years ago (were you here?) every pilot walked and the company knows that we will totally shut this place down if given the opportunity. They will play by rules that you so covet and drag this out for for the next 10 years because they CAN. As far as ALPA and the NC goes they work for me,... I don't work for them and if they get pi$$ed off that's too bad. We had an opportunity to accomplish more in one week than the NC could do in 5 years but fear and greed (not common sense!) won over. It seems we have too many greedy little Boy Scouts working here, it really makes me want to puke!

For all of the Pro Boners out there. IDK how y'all do it on your Off days. I enjoy myself way too much while away. Thanks for helping out the Bendo and Bob show for the last week. They'll get an easy pass next time they've gotta speak to the board and investors. Maybe all of this will get addressed when all of us are down in Houston fighting for the entire group and not just ourselves. High Five!
