I’ve got to agree. Riding American or United today is painful and frustrating. Unless, your 1st class. Had a young friend ask about flying for Norwegian or Emirates. I told him if they treat their customers better, jump.
The most qualified pilots are almost never picked, but they will look good in a double breasted blazer. Furthermore, if your looking for someone to point fingers at may I suggest ALPA? They had no problem scabbing PATCO.

One last time bubba, SWAPA and you have stepped all over the respective seniority and positions of other pilot groups and now you want the respect and co-operation of these other groups in your attempts to use a non-union to gain better conditions. That's laughable but I suspect SWAPA leadership...

Bubba I doubt anyone is particularly concerned about vocabulary here. Your trolling for southwest is meant to obfuscate the real issue, that of SWAPA's need for outside support while stepping on the issues of other pilot groups. That and the issue of Alaska and Virgin's merger which will...
