I've written my reps about what concerns me, and years later I am still left with a reply that sort of goes "We are aware of this concern and are actively working toward...." Meanwhile, we're carrying more passengers on the MD-88/90, flying the 90 out of ATL, and no changes in anything to reimburse pilots for the extra income we're bringing to the company. Add to the fact DALPA signed on to letting the company abuse us with increased avg line value a couple of years ago so I could spend every day of resv plus some for commuting (~19) in ATL and I'd say I've tried.
The MEC & LECs don't need my time and energy to tell us they are behind us for pay restoration & scope. I have read the letters from my LEC and am glad to see our LEC's exec is behind this, but the rest are sadly not saying enough.
