Actually NOT my words. That quote came from another person (Fr8dog I think). So now I will ask you - Are you really a pilot? What is your batting average? On this post alone it is ZERO.
I never opined about how long the strike would last. Read the thread.
If the Atlas Pilots had not supported your silly job-action you would have been shut down. Seems I underestimated your worth to your Atlas brothers.
I didn't publish an opinion whether the 'roids would sign the TA or not. Although If I had I would have bet they would chicken out just as they did. They didn't know how to (or were too lazy to) conduct a real strike, why sign a real contract.
Having said that, however, I do believe that the combined cockpit will be a mess. You have only to look at the Delta/Western and NWA/Republic mergers to see that the animosity is still on-going. This one will be no different.
Just remember my friend - what goes around, comes around.
