They don’t work for AA. He/she spent some time posing as an AA employee so they could troll the AA threads by bashing APA. So many dead giveaaways in those posts that they’re posing.

I do notice every time he/she conveniently weakly trolls the UA threads, suddenly you make an appearance and start sh*ting on AA now that someone has conveniently made an excuse for you to do so. You do you, I guess.

Apologies. Thought they did.

It’s because that D-bag always comes on here as an AA employee. You reap what you sow.

With the friends I have over at UA/DL and the trading of contract/company info we exchange for knowledge purposes—creating an account for trolling purposes by posing as a UA pilot when I work for AA would be effortless.

They can claim to be a current AA employee (they actually haven’t), but my spidey-senses from reading their post history leads me to believe they worked at an AA WO regional (severely lacked mainline AA knowledge, but posed as a mainline AA pilot) and got hired at a mainline competitor during the wave.

Oh I’m ****ting on AA. Uh huh… I don’t need an excuse to say whatever the F I want to say to some Dbag; trolling notwithstanding.

are you twelve?

Sorry bro, I am not CEO of a major airline going on National TV wishing thousands of pilots go out in the streets without jobs. But hey you can get preferential hiring here starting over at the bottom of the list lol. Plus where did I wish for your demise? Karma is a B and I won't be the one administering it.

Nobody is "wishing" any harm to anyone. Its been pretty clear to a lot of people that the ULCC business model is dead and he said it because its the truth. Lots of people heeded the warnings and left those ULCCs for other airlines.

Preferential interviews are a gift. Nothing more. United doesn't have to do them. ALPA will obviously advocate for them but the fact that management is giving pilots who have just lost their jobs a faster path back to work should be commended not condemned.

Let me start out by saying I have lots of friends at NK and feel for every single one of them. They have a lot of good people at their company. There but for the grace of God go I.

That being said, I think you're making personal what simply isn't. I have not once heard SK ever celebrating individual people losing their jobs, but feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. The reality is in this business there are winners and losers. Not as people, but as companies. And SK has been saying for years now what most of us have known; the ULCC model, and especially NK, are not likely to succeed long term. As things have accelerated in that regard, the rhetoric surrounding it has shifted from a "when, not if," to a "how soon." You're interpreting that as actively rooting for their employees' losses of livelihood which is a huge leap in logic. Everything I've seen him say was factual and narrowly-focused on the competition between the businesses as singular entities.

His responsibility is to United. In this business, your gains often come at the expense of others. We knew that when we signed up, and none of us will know until the end of our careers if we made the right decision. For better or for worse, our current system doesn't afford leaders of businesses the opportunity to be sensitive to the individual employees at companies we're competing against. He would be derelict in his fiduciary duty to United if he said "let's leave our competitor alive to keep their employees working." I wouldn't expect any competitor not to try to kick United when it's down.

It's just business.

Bingo - happens all the time. Ask one of the old CAL guys about TORQUE.
