How about simply ignoring the man unless he’s announcing that we’ve reached a TA?

This.

Plus some other words because my message is too short and there is no like or upvote on this DOS/ASCI website.

Could you possibly imagine having your picture taken with the SK on top of a mountain with what’s going on right now? That’d be the way to make yourself “famous” for the rest of your career.
I hear his Christmas parties are the bomb.

I think Scott’s probably a great guy and probably enjoyable to climb a mountain with him. You can feel that way and still be a NO vote on a sub par TA and go picket.

I personally recommend a lot of you guys need to get past the 15 year old union politics. if you need a identify someone else as your enemy to stay motivated, then you might not have a very strong spine to begin with. And there’s nothing wrong with that… It’s just funny when the keyboard warriors get worked up. The way you cast your vote has nothing to do with how you treat your passengers or the bitterness you hold in your heart.

at the end of the day, it’s your blood pressure. Do with it what you wish.

Be nice to everyone, but the first class/boarding area clown shows should stop until we get a upa. That’s extra NPS type stuff, and used for management bonuses. Other than that, spot on. 👍🏼

Instead of whoring yourself out for straight pay.

I’m stoked I took the upgrade and don’t have to sit in a cockpit at 2am with you telling me about how you sold your soul for add pay on a trip no one wanted. Even if it means getting used everyday for not much more than MPG.

I’m pretty sure I know where you were on 5/12. I got two pretty awesome F-16 flyovers with a few hundred of my brothers and sisters.
Best reasons to upgrade:
1) Not having to fly with the W2 braggarts
2) Not having to pull gear for some U37xxxx 2-year wunder

People don’t have any real friends they could go on a hike with instead? It’s more enjoyable to hike a mountain with the guy who has ignored our contract passes for months than it is to go alone or with your friends? Give me a break. Anyone that does this is taking time out of their day, out of time they can spend with family or friends, to go well outside their job description for a company photo op and so SK can say he really hears and understands the pilots because they follows him up a mountain?

All while the company is refusing to negotiate in good faith?

That’s weak behavior at best. It’s predictive behavior at worst.

I’m just glad the company is following BQ’s ethos & keeping the main thing the main thing.

And yes, I’m talking about putting focus back on the new uniform rollout.
