Can I wait to submit the current company survey until after our comprehensive CBA is finalized. If the compensation reflects our value and worth to the company, if the work rules are not based upon some politically poisoned legislation, but rather balances the interests of schedule optimization, quality of life and safety, I will have a better feel for what number goes in what box.
We can be angry at congress or ALPA, but in the end, the next time you find yourself flying a disputed pairing, flying extra during 4A2B or answering a company survey looking for a pat on the back to guage how much or little we think we are worth to ourselves, go look in the mirror and you'll see who can influence your professional future.
