You know, I have some friends on the "west" side and it seems to me that the "east" side guys should be thanking the gods that they have a job. If it wasn't fom AmWest buying them, all of them would have been on the street. I work with a number of furloughed "east" guys and I have never seen such overall negative and self centered attitudes. They are an absolute pain in the ass to fly with. Damn idiots! Good luck to you "west" guys in your upheaval.
