You guys have all the leverage. Think about it for a minute, if an entire seniority list walked off the job (in a legal job action of course) who could replace them? You even have the media on your side which is unbelievable. Imagine the headline: "Pilots of XYZ airline walk off the job in protest of $22,000/year starting pay." This subject has gained serious traction. You are doing the right thing by escalating it. If not now then when?

I completely agree. Keep your friends close and your enemies even closer.
We should all be on the phone with our friends at the regionals not on the list asking them to put pressure on their MECs to sign. STOP THE WHIPSAW!!!

I know I have not one ounce of care in me if the company cannot continue to operate because we demand a fair wage. Just means that the regional experiment did not work. Game over.
That's awesome! I hope you guys are able to make it work over there!!!

If you think and believe that the $22k starting pay is because that is what management pays.....
WRONG
This is what the negotiating committee, basically senior pilots, asks the management to pay the new hires...
Anyone who doesn't believe or agree with this, still needs to learn a lot about managements unions and organized labor...
