We need to encourage more AA pilots to jump in here to give Usapians a reality check. They're here patting themselves on the back while the debate is alive and well.
Like the one going on between AA pilot eaglefly and Usapian pilot flybywire44.
Eaglefly says, "I'm hopeful and somewhat confident most East pilots AREN'T like you. For the sake of the future of AA, I sincerely hope I'm correct."
Watching Eaglegfly dismantle flyby was a pleasure

It is understandable if you are insecure about your outcome of this merger, but stop inciting negative discussion.
But East pilots talk down to so many others, myself included for simply disagreeing with your way of thinking and USAPA's past and present conduct. I think one of your clan even insinuates one of you has slept with my wife, but I guess that's O.K., at least on USAPA. It's interesting that some Usapians demand others stop questioning the ONSLUGHT of Usapian thought on this forum that results in its die-hard supporters and those who validate what they do to make thousands of posts, yet make no equal demand of themselves. I'm sorry, but if you'd like to improve relations here on the forum between the players in this little marriage, you collectively have to practice what you preach.
I'm not insecure about the outcome of this merger as I am one of the few not pontificating here on exactly how the SLI should occur. I hear virtually no West pilots doing that. That leaves only one other segment of this trio making 98% of the declarations on what should happen with the SLI. Coincidence ? I think not. If you really would like to see less negative discussion here on this subject, stop discussing the Nic and call the clan in Charlotte and ask them not to reneg on the provisions of the MOU like they reneged on the Nic. It is USAPA that is "muddying the waters" with their pathological obstructionism and intransigence, not one AA pilot. Besides, as some of your compadres periodically remind me, I'm a toothless loser of an RJ pilot who isn't qualified to be where I am and received my present job as a gift, so why concern yourself with my opinion anyway ?

Ah yes, the old "Loser RJ pilot" attack has now been expanded to simply a blanket "loser pilot" assault. Like I said, I've heard this attack before from Usapians and they seem to think it becomes more impressive over time. It doesn't. It DOES serve a useful purpose though. It indicates bias by someone who classifies others based on where they came from as opposed to who they are and exposes this person to others so they can make their own better assessment of their character and thus their credibility. You imply I'm the latter by the "ring a bell ?" crack, but you don't know me personally, don't know how I interview, how I fly or how I train. Likewise, I could fly with a few East pilots and prejudge them assuming they are all like you and wonder the same things about all East pilots (as opposed to Usapians), but that would just reflect the same misguided assumption and error in judgement you exhibit.
I'm hopeful and somewhat confident most East pilots AREN'T like you. For the sake of the future of AA, I sincerely hope I'm correct.

Do worry about east pilots, the new AA will be just fine. But, since you don't know me, what is the basis for your concern?
Are you from the south? If so you will know that this means-Bless Your Heart.

Poor little Usapian..........I guess I should have added a few smiley faces to clue you in that you'll never get under my skin. You seem to do better with picture books and no, as usual you're wrong, I'm not from the south. Nice try though.
How 'bout you ?
Northern or Southern USAPA ?
One of the moons perhaps ?
