The irony is that the West has such vitriol and hate directed toward the East pilots, but I am at a loss as to what great injustice they are suffering at the hands of the East.
The East has no issue with the West. (Can't say the same for Praer and pals, but the East has no beef with their brothers in the West.) The East doesn’t dislike the West, even though the West repeatedly boasts that they have “won” and that the AAA Mec is going to do more and more damage to the AAA pilots (repeated “wins” for the West). The West pilots aren’t the ones represented by “the morons that keep burying the AAA pilots.” The East even doesn’t react to the West’s unthinkable desire for the East to utterly fail in their effort to receive equal pay for equal work. The West “Can’t wait for the day of utter failure to happen.”
In all of this hate and ill will against them, the East has taken absolutely nothing from the West. ALPA national has validated the Nic list. The West has received profit sharing for profits they didn’t even contribute to. The West has not been harmed at all by the merger. They haven’t taken any pay cuts. There have been no furloughs. There have been no West domicile closures.
The West pilots by all accounts have received many positive benefits by the merger and have had no negative consequences. ALPA has validated the Nic list and it will only be a matter of time until the merger is completed and the company is able to benefit from the synergies of the merger.
Everything the West has received has been nothing less than “fair and equitable.”
What is it that the West is so up in arms about? Especially, why the hate and discord directed at fellow pilots in the East? It seems like all your expectations are peaches and cream so why is there hate if all your expectation are postive?
How do so many positive circumstances produce such a poisonous outlook?
The only logical thing seems that the West is impatient beyond all comprehension. I mean if everything is going to work out just fine (a win for the West) then the only room left for any complaint is with regard to the timing. But is timing sufficient to explain all the hate?
