I see what you mean though. Why would anyone want to make our newest pilots feel welcome on the property?

Not a huge fan of touchy feely team building, but the 8 ball thing was funny and a fun night. Great way to meet everybody else in schoolhouse and socialize. Will go out of my way to stop by any time i can for the ceremony.

Like the l-ual's who yes voted in the contract out of fear of IAD base takeover's and l-cal CA upgrades? Spare me the 'we'll band together and get'em next time' speech. You guys had your chance, and I was hoping you'd put your votes where your chest beating union mouths were and hold out for full retro and PBS changes. Nope. Took the first offer and ran. Unity. 
If you were so convinced that the arbitrators would pay heedance to the Tenet of longevity and give your your rightful place post SLI regardless of the l-cal upgrades, why the votes out of fear? ....CRICKETS....
(Thanks mako for the spellcheck)

Welcome aboard! You shouldn't have to pay for beer as a half winger unless you're flying with scabs. The scabs will surely tell you all about their lake house, boats, and how they had to pay their dues as a newbie which is why you'll pay for your own beer.

I take it you are from the l-CAL side. I don't get the impression there was a tremendous amount of camrarderie and historical relevance from that side. Seems due to most wanting to forget the past and many of them definitely hoping you wouldn't look up their past. Everyone just looked forward because that was a better picture. If you don't like the ball ceremony it doesn't really matter because you are over the hurdle of new hire school. Howecer, I have flown with many people that really enjoyed the new hire experience and the ceremony over the years.
