What happened to this idiot😂😂😂

The SLI will be decided in arbitration by a neutral, AS’ MEC knows almost exactly what it will look like, HA’s MEC knows almost exactly what it will look like…but they each have to fight for their own. People will get all worked up on here like they are going to somehow affect the actual outcome… the outcome is already decided other than a few minor adjustments. Nothing anyone says on here will change anything but that won’t stop people from writing stupid things. Everyone is going to be just fine…RELAX but a few will be incapable of that.

Trying to fence an Alaska pilot off a new aircraft/WB in a current Alaska base is just that.
tell that to the lottery winning VX pilots!!!

I expect pretty much a straight relative seniority integration. It's the most painless and would have the least impact on everyone.

So if management moved A330 or 787 from HNL to SEA it would be a flush bid? TDY to support it until
the flush? Just asking how that would work in fairness.

The union will ask for unity, just as they did last time. And we act unified. Until we see the transcripts of the SLI sessions. And see what one group had to say (use) against the other side. And vice versa. But unity, please.

You mean the death guppy? Or any guppy? You need to bid a bus sometime in your life to understand what you're missing.
