Honestly, you guys should pick a principle and stick to it. No wonder the whole industry, including your own management, sees you guys as gutless whiny little
when you flip flop like a sloppy joe sandwich
You select keyboard warriors must be in complete denial if you don't see a parallel. While the based crew might be a swell bunch, and stroke your ego, the fact of the matter is that its inception goes against the very principle that you supposedly uphold. Imagine if the company starts promoting within bases and making you operate with a based Captain that's 10 years junior to you. I am not so sure if you would be as complimentary to them as you are to the based cabin crews. Yes I know, you would come on this forum with a fury of posts, but in the end you would take it up the a## like you always have.
