Shortly, I quote you, and not out of context..
I have not been maltreated in any of my years with the company
This leads me to believe either a) you have been here two years or less, or b) You have willingly accepted the contractual changes which have been generously shoved at the crew over the years. Giving you the benefit of the doubt I assume you fall into group b. Thus placing you in the small category spearheaded by the likes of Pitot Hey. If you like having the 543 rule pulled apart, or your leave chopped by 2 weeks, or honestly believe that a sign or be fired option... is an option, then I pity you, and sadly cannot engage you in a sensible debate. I shall however continue to ridicule your sycophantic ideals for the brainwashed bullsh1t that they are. There is the childish name calling just to keep you happy.
HFX again I quote in context...

WHAT THE **** ARE YOU SMOKING? You know as well as I do that anyone who dared not sign for SLS was going to have there name placed in a very special place.
You search for sound rebuttal against the companys reasoning for attacking the AOA. Mate if you dont know that by now, then scroll up to Shortlys response, and read on from 'then I pity you.
