That's not to knock VX - I wouldn't trade the past several years for anything and wish that we could continue. But I think you will see the majority of us at AS. We are excited about training together and having all VX crews working AS flights.
Of course, I'm sure everyone here wishes only the best for you and all of your VX colleagues. Moreover, I also wish the best for AS employees too. The dislocation of change forced upon me by the takeover is a trifle matter next to the careers and financial well being of real people.

As a Bay Area person, I'm going to miss the hometown Airline that I felt was created for people such as myself; namely, the non-elite anti-Legacy pax who just wanted the best value for his hard earned money. For that, VX was a smashing success, as far as I'm concerned.

Sadly, I doubt AS will fit my needs the way VX did.
