Actually, my knowledge is just fine thanks.

Did you even notice that I did not reference a quote when I made the statement. Besides, if you're F9, your little union's ego left you in the mess you're in now.

Did you run?
Don't need to. I'm currently fine with what the union is doing. If that changes, there are steps to take care of that. If I need to run to see a change then that's what I'll do. Besides, I'm not the one that has a problem with the union.

What?
Apparently, one of your fellow coworkers is happy with the fact that since his QOL is great then it doesn't matter about any other pilot's QOL.

I know I won't feel bad."
No, we could run the airline with only senior people or only junior people, except, wait, if all the junior people were gone than some of the senior people would be junior! That won't do. And if all the senior people were gone than some junior people would all of a sudden be senior! You're right, I guess it takes junior and senior people after all. I forget, what was the point?
The point is you're uneducated. A lot of CBAs are constructed from senior pilots who forget what being junior or on reserve is like. Because there are more line holders than reservist, CBAs and TAs get passed. That's my point.

You're exactly right and pilots should stand with each other when it comes to improving labor contracts. We want to vote to strike because apparently the company no longer cares about the QOL that the pilots have. We weren't asking for your vote but you would think that the F9 pilots would stand with us. Since you can clearly see that we deserve a better QOL, then you can understand why we are showing the company that we're prepared to do what it takes to get what we deserve. I guess that some don't care because if our ship sinks than so does F9's and they'd rather have their boat stay a float at the expense of others.

Nope, I believe in getting paid for what you fly.
