The pay may be entry level but I never heard of anyone getting hired with 2500 TT or around there. Maybe I'm wrong
I had to look it up. I had 2521 TT when I hit the line there. I know a few guys who were hired with less. It happened, but it isn't as prevalent now.

Default Union

Hi all

I'm a long time lurker first time poster
I've heard there's a union attempt going on at TMC right now with the teamsters.
Can anyone verify this as true?

Shocking that management would allow a union in. It will kill the company.

"Allow" really doesn't describe how they've handled it, in the same way that a store owner would take exception to one saying, "he allowed himself to be robbed," or a young woman might presumptuously be said to have, "allowed herself to be assaulted."

From what I can see, the initial efforts were pretty disciplined and stealthy. This thing seems to have reached critical mass before the man gave any indication that he was onto it.

Then again, history shows that appearances tend to be deceiving.

I sound like a tool for a minute there. Apologies...my point kind of gets lost.

In any case, if one were to say that TMC "allowed" it in the sense that they didn't really listen to or address the pilot group's concerns well enough, then you're definitely right.
