I've got nothing to argue.
You alleged that I am responsible for the denigration of the F/A profession because I work here, and did before for a dollar less. You work at the same company. I have never worked for $16 and neither have you, so what do I have to do with it? I have the upper hand here in that I didn't vote for any of it.
You also continually referred to a former division of your airline as if it were it's own seperate airline itself. Not very informed. If you were so upset by a B-scale or C-scale that you voted in, several voluntary furloughs were available to you even at your juniority. You didn't want us to work there, but you continue to. As far as the Embraer 170s are concerned, you got your wish, mainline flight attendants no longer work them, hundreds of your co-workers are back on involuntary furlough, you're on reserve, and there are a plethora of contract express F/A positions available.
You've said over and over that I've chastized America West F/As for working there- if you can find that quote please share it. I have said that I don't understand why anyone would accept a new hire position with this airline (US Airways, west for now) under those conditions- the pay, single base, no hotel for training, and on the bottom of an airline about to merge with a very senior one, all this while decent airlines are hiring. If you're new, why join this circus, you would be temporary help until merger time. You accuse me of doing the same... I've never worked for the west side of the operation.
Your attempt to connect the MidAtlantic division recall to a new hire US Airways position is apples to oranges. The recall to MDA involved returning to the same company, two days of recurrent, of course paid by the company, with bases in three existing US bases, with your pay based on your existing longevity with the company, with the added bonus of being senior in that particular division. Comparing the two is silly.
