PB,A course in anger management is needed my friend.I'm a east pilot and I understand your frustration, but calling the East pilots SCABS and low-lifes is a little over the top. Lakefield (remember the guy who really put this deal together) didn't ask me and I imagine he didn't ask you about your thoughts on a merger. It was out of the employee's hands on both sides from the word go!I've never been a big fan of ALPA, nor am I a huge supporter of USAPA. But one thing OUR pilot group needs is a change in leadership. And it's not just us, I think many of the airlines need a change in union leadership.Now don't get me wrong, I'm sure some of your anger is justified. We have our fair share of idiot loud mouths on the east, as I'm sure you do on the west. But the only way to get through this mess is with a change in leadership, either through ousting the current ALPA reps or changing unions. Either way, a fresh start needs to be made to proceed forward in unity.If you are really as unhappy as you sound, you need to go find another job man. This job is not worth sending your BP through the roof!
