You have plenty also.
Ok. Now put the "i" down, take an aspirin and get some rest. Sounds like you're about having a mental breakdown of sorts.

Really?! - how many widebodies did we park?

And by the way - your scabs won't be as happy going forward when they fly with United pilots.

See - Unity!

If we use that same Unity to kick Pierce to the curb, WE can move forward. Pierce is delaying the whole process as indicated in the "rant of Rocketiii".
