Don't they always say a rebranding comes around merger time?

Did you read the article?!?
Email? Word of mouth in crew room?
Can it top a hand signed letter to an arbitration judge?
Nah, he just lost his cookies, publicly, on social media and has shockingly not been censured. But he was a huge supporter of the previous administration so word on the street was that as long as you were "pro", you had carte blanche to denigrate your coworkers.

Unless you're at SouthernJets, then you get a new livery every time you get new CEO. Oh wait, RA is retiring.
Bated breath.

That has been a very common theme with them. Virtually every one of them have blown up on social media or "liked" another one going off on social media- up to and including Moak. Amazing how every one of them exhibit high narcissistic tendencies, short tempers, and truly believe the rest of the pilot group is a bunch of idiots.
Scary, sad, and frightening realizing that when send back to do what they signed up for, how narcissistic and caustic they actually are.
People I once had a lot of respect for were pretty quick to pull down their pants and show their 'winkies' after getting recalled.
Where have I heard the sentiments similar to this: "....the pilot group is too stupid to understand things, so I have to come in as their savior and the only one who understands anything, and explain it to these peons..."

It was in a Facebook post after the rejection of the first TA.

Ohh ok, so probably someone who wanted it to pass but it didn't. Of course that still doesn't make it right.

I'm not really worried about the SLI. Relative, DOH, staple, etc. I'm 31 now and was 27 when hired at VX 4 yrs ago. Here I'm suppose to be #3 at retirement. No matter what the Alaskan SLI I'll still be in the top 10.
What really matters for my QOL is if they close the NY base, and I'm faced with a lifelong transcon commute to LAX/PDX/SEA. Nothing on the SLI can help or hurt me on that... The base either exists or it doesn't.

Yes I did. And Cherokee cruiser can back me up on is that the current plan is to have one operating certificate under the Alaska name. Allow the busses to go back at the end of the lease.
This may change based on the customer reaction from loyal VX guests.

Just to keep you honest, plenty of Alaska are saying the exact same things on APC. Things like expect every VA captain to lose his seat a la Air Tran, and to staple Va under Horizon....

Hah, maybe those are the "exciting changes" I heard about coming to Horizon.

That'd be something.
At United Express exiting changes were having planes cleaned only at the overnight station....
