Does that include your drunk cockpit crew?
Care to compare?

You've been very, very lucky...Period. I've never flown as part of any organization that never suffered losses. The sky is fully capable of killing any of us, and that's without even considering severe mechanical disasters. With the wrong combination of circumstances; even any given road or highway's potentially lethal to any of us. If your implication here is that AWA people are all imbued with some supernatural abilities that preclude all possibility of error or misfortune aloft, well...all "you'se" really do is display an almost unimaginable degree of childish arrogance and infantile naivete that presumes yourself superior to all pilots of the world's air forces and major airlines. I can only hope your personal good fortune maintains, and that your assinine arrogance is never fully tested.
Oh well...What better could anyone expect of some perpetual adolescent, so grossly immature as to actually be capable of imagining himself a "spartan"?

Flounder, you have two problems..
1) The condition of your union is terminal, therefore you won't rise above pizza delivery
boy for the union.
2) BMI....Good luck on your next medical, chubby.
USAPAWATCH nailed it recently. It's worth repeating:
Hello darkness, my old friend
In an open letter to the Texas Attorney General in Monday’s Dallas Morning News the Allied Pilots Association (APA) took the gubernatorial candidate to task over his opposition to the proposed AA/US merger. In a strongly worded statement, the APA wrote:
“Are you opposed to having a leading global carrier in Fort Worth? Considering everything at stake - including the large number of jobs and tax revenues they generate - that doesn’t make any sense.”
The APA gets it. If the merger is successfully blocked by the Department of Justice (DOJ), tens of thousands of jobs are at stake as the two smaller carriers will be forced to compete against industry giants Delta, United, and Southwest. All of whom successfully merged to their present sizes with the blessings of the DOJ.
Meanwhile, the only thing heard from the campus in Woodlawn is the sounds of silence. With the radical Courtney Borman forcing a runoff in the Charlotte domicile elections, it is clear that USAPA sees this latest setback to all of our careers as an opportunity to grab more. In their alternative universe they see the DOJ action as a blessing. They wholeheartedly believe that forced divestitures of our assets will trigger a renegotiation of the MOU and Doug Parker will be banging at the door with moneybags in hand and a freshly inked date-of-hire seniority list.
The last days of USAPA were in our sights. We were weeks from turning the corner and starting the road towards professional and mature representation. Representation focused on the big picture and actually securing better wages and working conditions for all of its members. Instead, we’re stuck with a union more concerned about fighting its own and sabotaging anything good.
Normally we would appeal to our readers to write USAPA and demand change. As we have seen over the past five years, this would be a total waste of time. The only thing that can stop the USAPA jihad is their total extinction.

Do make certain to present yourselves to the APA people in like manner. I've no doubt they'll be equally awestruck, and if not...well...at least you'll afford them insight into the true "quality" of some they're soon to be afflicted with.

What do any of those have to do with the safe flight of the traveling public (except maybe for the FFDO shooting)?
Does a tax evader or creep with a camera somehow make a pilot as dangerous as one, or two, who willfully show up drunk to fly an airliner?
Why not research and find all the east pilots who have run stop signs or exceeded the speed limit, and post that, too?
