The company has removed ACP's, to be eventually replaced by "professional" flight managers. The current leadership (PC, JB, OR and now BM) has one priority......expand the profit margin. If, as a pilot group, we think that management will be there to help with any issues we might have, good luck!! We are considered nothing but a cost center. I was told by one member of the companies upper managers, "if you have a problem, go to the union....that's what you pay dues for".
If we don't get the RIGHT people into our union leadership positions, by voting for them NOW, we're just rolling over and playing dead in managements eyes. See how far that gets us at the negotiating table. Vote for those that are willing to serve, and not those that WANT to be served. VOTE VOTE VOTE!!!!!
I'll get off my soapbox now.......
