I'm not a moderator, but...
Can we just stop throwing rocks at each other? Throw them at the villain of your choice in this truly sad saga.
I am as anti-union as you can get, and also not a big fan of current AA senior manglement.
If I were in charge, 1st-get people where they need to get to. 2nd-Then fix what caused the problem in first place.
Hopefully a new management team with vision and not myopia can fix this problem and a few more in January.
