Muppets- I'm trying to get you. First you candidly admit you're nervous about recent events, then you take that nervousness and get aggressive with Sacha. It did sound like you'd like to have words...fighting words? What is it man?
But it speaks to a larger point- the beaten dog syndrome you guys have been inflicted with. Like Pavlov's dog you guys meet any perception of aggression with greater aggression. True?
Problem is, there's no need for that here, and it won't be tolerated either- so it becomes a self fulfilled prophecy.
We all know the human component. None of us want to see family's hurt. But you can do two things with our culture, and desire to integrate you, and the profitability of the integration. You can take those things and use them as leverage to get all you can, which is what you're doing- and set an awful example for all work groups, or come in agreeably in a humble situation. You are not just acted upon- you have a responsibility in this as well-
As good a company and job as swa is- > it's worth not fighting for every inch when all of swa's history and ethic ought to tell you that won't work. I say this knowing the best outcome for us is some variant that doesn't integrate you. It's better for me, it's better for the multitude of friends I have that WANT to come in at the bottom and believe in the SWA ethic and concept, it's better for the culture and better for the bottom line as new hires are cheaper - so you're banking all that on MB untested legal language and that that option is not possible- that GK must integrate no matter how hard you push. Keeping 68% of your seniority at a company this good is not bad- and the multiple real gains are clearly very good-
I guess I don't understand the judgement.
OYS- nobody cares what you think-
It's clear you want chaos and drama in a competitor that ALPA has always hated.
I've been clear that I believe SWA haters in ALPA are trying to undermine the process and raise blood pressures and expectations on the AT side since the beginning-
Time to pick a future AT pilots. Peace, prosperity, stability, or ALPA militant, everyone's out to "screw" us tactics.
F9 guys bought into the screw job- and that lack of perspective has not worked out- it hasn't worked ever... Please do what you want, as I said - it's better for my friends and in a lot of ways if you push too hard and overplay your hand- so for the last time- ask yourself this question: can ALPA overplay your hand? If so, how and what would it look like?
Bird in hand- Luke 14:10- if you end up on the list- don't ever think or feel that you got "screwed"- you are nothing but lucky, as am I and all the other Swapa pilots.
