He says a lot of thing that don't add up if you catch my drift.

It must really bother you that even under loa93 that some east pilots were still able to live decently. I know it doesn't fit your narrative of east pilots suffering in crash pads hitching rides to the airport with flight attendants as you guys starved us out.

Not at all or at least to me it doesn't. A marriage is supposed to be a partnership therefore live by the code of what's mine is yours and what's yours is mine. There is a pilot here in PHX whose wife is a CFO of some corporation and he goes off on these African safari hunting trips which I know begin at 10k to even talk about them. There is another f/o whose wife is neurosurgeon so I know she makes well more than he does. It's really not about that at all and more about what I said in the beginning. This was about your taking our your frustrations upon the west pilot group and nothing else. I can only say to that all the best in the upcoming SLI and should it not go the way you've been predicting you need look no further than the last 10 years of your actions toward your fellow man.

Drama queen. You guys got outmatched, period. The east did nothing more than prevent the implementation via a loophole in the process. Nothing different than the day to day struggles of enforcing your contract with the company.

No, not outmatched. Just outnumbered. You didn't do anything extraordinary. Just took advantage of your greater number of votes.

Outmatched and outnumbered. Mergers have been happening for years, and this was the first time a group actually said, "no". Outnumbered or not.

Outmatched, you can see it on c&r too. West's emotional rant's and tirades, sounding like a bunch of thugs. Pretty much sums up the airline that was America West. West side wins and SLI just by being included

Exactly. If the east hadn't had the numbers, we would have been forced to stay in ALPO, and in the JNC process. It would have worked itself out eventually, or not. Staying on our respective contracts for the last ten years could have also occurred, but likely at least with a much lower level of vitriol.

With every advantage, usapa couldn't achieve what it wanted to, it simply defaulted to what could have been achieved under ALPO. Outmatched? Hardly.

This has got to be the biggest hypocritical statement of the year. Emotional rants and tirades? A bunch of thugs? You just described yourselves at the very biggining of all this! Pretty much sums up USAir/usapa.

Yes .. I know what marriage is, that was an agreement I decided was fair to abide by. Wow 10k to talk about a safari? I hope for that amount they tracked down Cecil the lion again. There is absolutely no frustration I just didn't like the award and decided to start donating to the cause I believed in. I will gladly invite you to fly with me in my cockpit anytime.

Wow a lambo and a cj2, you don't need the nic at all. I can't compete with you my ties are from men's wearhouse.
