The SHOW: Airlines still a "good gig"??

Seems like crazy witch hunts over there after their TA failed. It appears that some senior yes voters aligned with management started whatsapp group and started compiling a list of “militant“ no voters for the company to go after.
A FedEx management pilot tried to come after me to remove a comment I made online and I don’t even work there (they threatened to turn me into Fedex legal if I didn’t delete the post. I told them I didn’t work for FedEx and they could pound sand)... I six months later I got a message from an ALPA attorney saying that FedEx is investigating their pilots for the comment I posted and wanted know if FedEx made contact with me and what I told FedEx when when they contacted me.

This is pretty incredible. I mean what exactly does “go after” mean? This sounds really ugly.
What kind of comments could they possibly be upset about? I understand there’s a Social Media policy. But that’s normally not for making comments about contract negotiations or feelings about a TA. Seems strange. Thanks for the info.
She’s at Delta.
Simply mentioned her as an example of social media on the flight deck going off the rails.
The shit people do to get attention on the internet...
Yeah, the who situation was pretty weird. It seemed like a case of mistaken identity after I commented about something this individual was pretty sore about. Even after I told them I wasn’t who they thought I was they said they didn‘t believe me. I didn’t think much of it until the ALPA attorney contacted me.
Go after = company investigations to discipline pilots (suspend without pay/ terminate etc.)
Even more wild- I know of one case where a former Fedex pilot got served papers for a civil suit because someone online posted a comment about the VP of flight ops girlfriend, and the female FedEx pilot who felt the comment was about her believed he was the one who said it (similar case of looking through website posts and cross referencing Fedex pilot employment history to come up with a wild ass guess that I experienced) and hired an attorney personally to sue him for monetary damages and a public apology him since Fedex couldn't investigate and discipline him for it. He ended up having to hire a lawyer and notify Fedex they were going to be a named party in his countersuit for her to drop it.

Sorry for late reply…. We go to Branson every 4th of July.. Zippy basically summed it up..
"United CEO Scott Kirby told employees in a video message that he thinks Delta & United will be close to 100% of the industry’s profitability this year “there are now two airlines, United & Delta, that are now light years ahead of the rest of the industry”
I fly United all the time. Few complaints.
As long as you avoid Houston, it is pretty ok. But I’d put Delta at 300% better
And i say that as a happy Eskimo guy
Since I don’t live on the eastern seaboard or in LA, Delta never seems to be going where I go. I probably fly them the least of the majors, but I’d take them over SWA without any hesitation.
Finally have flown enough for business that I recently earned gold status on UA. Got the complimentary upgrade to business class on one leg of my last trip- that was nice. No complaints.
AA… not great, but usually works. I use them when it makes sense, mostly when flying commercial to Texas, which I try to avoid- preferring to use GA or driving.
SWA, not anymore if I can avoid it. The open seating and boarding order games drive me crazy.

Alaska is the best. But really only works if you're a west coaster.
Delta and United are the same, one has purple tones and the other has blue tones. That's about the biggest difference.
I’ve only recently started flying United pretty loyally bc their nonstop routes and timing just happen to work out best for my work travel. My only complaint is that they don’t let me check bags via the app, and therefore I don’t get my boarding pass until I get to the airport. And the flights have been rather full so I get stuck in the middle or beside young children or whatever.
I don’t go through Houston so no experience changing planes there. Maybe once or twice in my life.
I used to love LUV but haven’t been on it in a while. The boarding order games never phase me since I am in with the preboard crowd.
