We're never going to lose our United benefits, United can't afford to lose us, we provide too much feed. We should be getting JB benefits soon too so the future looks bright fellas. Lets keep up the good work! Today it's a Disney Vacation, tomorrow it's new airplanes, maybe even jets. Just imagine providing feed for JB. Possibilities are endless! Let's make SILVER really shine in 2014! Go Silver!

Aveces me emociono y no me puedo contener. ARRIBA PLATA!

Silver going independent had nothing to do with United. They did it for future codeshares. We would have never gotten an agreement with JetBlue if we were in bed with United. IOSA also helped with that.

But yes, we could very well lose our benefits: No pilots=no flights=no airline=no benefits.

...and I'm pretty sure dmncnpilot was being 100% sarcastic.

Epic moment of the day: LJ (the most senior pilot at the Company) just got junior-manned.

You might negotiate that into your next contract, the most senior FO and Captain on the list cannot be junior manned as it defeats the spirit of the purpose. Possibly also serve to protect Captains from being forced to fly as FO's.
