That's what's so g.d. funny about this video -- if you understand all the inside jokes, etc. Every segment has one. One of the guys on a "don't do this" situation actually did what he is showing in the video. I admire him/think it's great that he's able to have fun like that and laugh at himself.
As for saying 'you will get bent over' those who say this misunderstand the purpose of the video. The "don't do this" situations are so obvious only a moron wouldn't get it. Those people you can't help.
But the video is important for several reasons: 1) it exposes the airline's "people first" weaknesses right in time as JO is telling everyone in HI how wonderful Mesa is 2) it creates bargaining capital at the negogiating table -- the last thing JO wants is to be embarassed in public. He blew a gasket at informational picketing in PHX. The threat of another potentially more embarassing video is an enticement 3) don't forget about the shareholders and the board as the stock is trading near a 52 week low... hmmm why is that? eveything is so wonderful, right? this video does not help spread the love let's say (rumor has it we lose a codeshare and JO gets the boot) 4) finally I think it is more an embarassment to ALPA... we are coming up to 10 years with ALPA on the property and this is all you guys can do? conditions at the top will never stabilize while the base erodes
