As a RAH FO I will say, all FOs will take the money, we don't have a choice, but the smart ones will put it to the side so that when the Union / Pilots sues or gets released to strike. We will do this so it won't hurt the wallet quite as much when the company has to take it back. This is an obvious illegal sham forced upon us by the company to try and circumvent the negotiations. Its not any more legal than if they had taken money from our checks. I haven't talked to one of our pilots that thinks any different. If pilots will just say away for a little while longer all this will be worked out by new contract. For now, do all RAH and "regional pilots" in general a favor and say away for a bit. Most of us here would rather see the place burn than not have a real industry leading contract as management has been burning us for years. 99.9 % of us were ready to walk years ago. Give us some time to get the leading contract we ALL need and that other regionals will work off of to "lead" in the future. We are all pilots and short of a national list we can only try and unite together whichever company you work or want to work for to get the best for everyone. We must ALL try and recapture some of what Mgmt and the Senior pilots of the late 80s through 90s have done to us. Rant over.....Over.
