Default Kirby Dipping Into Politics/End the Shutdown

Kirby is dipping into politics to end the shutdown. Let's hope he puts in the same energy for our contract.

In Unity...

Given that our 4-year contracts are typically in effect for eight years I doubt if he’s even given that any thought at this point.

Are we in section 6 and I missed it?

He’s not “dipping” into politics… what he said was pass a clean CR and get the govt reopen, and pay ATC and TSA before minor problems become big ones.

OP can’t handle that SK was in the same room as the Vice President (Robert Isom was there too).

deep breaths, it’s going to be ok. SK isn’t wearing a MAGA hat and forcing you to vote for Republicans.

Lacks the supersize presence & booming base of his mentor but who doesn’t. 40m annual compensation for an eye popping quarterly earnings statement, he can well afford to share alarm over congressional gamesmanship and damage thereof. For whatever one may like or not like about the CEO, in no way is there evidence of being a shill for any political party line.

I've lost track, is Kirby a woke snowflake tranny, or is he a MAGA bootlicker?

the prolonged shutdown WILL eventually affect the airline so it’s of interest to a CEO of the world’s largest airline don’t ya think

I’m surprised it’s been closed this long. I believe that it won’t go more than a week or two into November. SNAP will be suspended on 11/1 and that’s a lot of ****ed off citizens. So I don’t think it’ll effect us too much, but any longer than a month and we might see a nasty decline real quick. Praying that government reopens quickly

Disclaimer: This is not a political post, just addressing that congress’ actions have consequences.

“Please run the government” isn’t all that political unless you’re debating anarchists
