Tried to have a civil conversation, but he wants to pick a fight.

In my somewhat limited understanding of aviation and the world is that without a union there is generally no such thing as seniority, there are times when companies pretend it exists when it suits the company. I am sorry for the guys whose lives have been temporarily turned upside down but in the end most will wind up better off. The bottom line is without a union none of this should be a suprise, in fact it should be expected. Pilots, myself included can look at a metar and a taf and know what the ride will be like, why can't we look at a company and know what the ride will be like. Good luck to all the guys and hope you all wind up better off.

No all I have to do is sweet talk her into bed, not pay like most you guys do in Korea and Shenzen.

Don't know, but I imagine there are a lot of lawsuits against the airline. Rumors are that they are in financial trouble and for even employees, they routinely underpay, don't pay overtime, don't pay expense checks, etc.
