Ok, Bob... I'm pretty agnostic about everything but the ratification of a new contract. I'm only at work for the money.
Remove the impediment (the former SWAPA benedict arnold) and get after signing a contract with sincerity.
Other than that, it's all just words.
Acta Non Verba
Except your success in this industry is tied to the success of the CEO in charge. And every airline, or entity for that matter regardless of how successful, is one CEO away from being run into the ground. When our priorities are to outwoke other airlines instead of ensuring competitiveness in what matters - market share and profitability, I tend to worry because being woke won't get me to retirement... it's far more likely to lead me to the unemployment line. Something about the the sentiment of "go woke, go broke" and being stuck in a seniority system.

Speechless...
I’m absolutely disgusted that this is what American society has devolved into. We’ve had it so good for so long that we obviously feel a need to create these “problems” to combat our boredom.

It should be compulsory that every American travel to at least one third-world/depressed country and see what real problems truly are. Color me more and more disenchanted with our society in the U.S. of A.

This place is going to hell in a hand basket quick.

There will be no need to travel to third world countries. We're well on our way of becoming one here with no baby formula, crazy oil prices, rolling blackouts, and food shortages. Just wait until the wheat shortage hits in the next 10 weeks or so. As the saying goes... hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men and weak men create hard times... right now, we are at the point that we cannot define what a woman is and get offended or even fined for mispronouncing someone's mental illness.

All you can do is brace...

To be fair, the right has its problems too. Sometimes you just have to laugh and just be glad you don't live in Georgia..

Oh I am bracing……..and filing some alternates for retirement as well. This country has gone off the deep end.

I thought after getting rid of the threatening tone I’d start reading them.

I didn’t

David Spade has a new Netflix standup comedy special called "Nothing Personal" with a lengthy bit about WN that is a little on the nose...

You'll be able to imagine him boarding in Vegas and getting yelled at by the FAs to hurry up and sit down, and him thinking, "I gotta write this down. This is comedy gold"

That’s some next level false equivalency right there.
