Either Tony Soprano and the Mob made a visit to Memphis and Manassas or another one of Phildo's ploys to stick it to ALPA and slap both the Pinnacle and Colgan Pilot Groups in the face. Thanks Phil and Mike. Glad I'm out of there!
 
LOL Whatever they pay dues to support steel workers and we don't good for them. They make less money now good move. What the hell did they need a union for? Makeup allowances they want now? We gave them uniform allowance. I think we should do away with them all together and get autobriefers. I can get my own soda. Are they going to get a dollar raise which will just negate itself with union dues?
 
It's going to be pretty funny (for those who voted no anyways) when their FAs start getting paid more then them and have all sorts of contracted work protections.
