Record all negotiating sessions. All videos kept secure. Unedited. At anytime, any pilot from either side can come into the office and watch them.
Quit hiding behind confidentiality agreements, no more he said she said, no more secret negotiations in other cities
If PBS systems are the real hold up...lets run them side by side and vote. I personally think that is silly. I think we have a working, well known, proven system that the pilot group is overall happy with. I think we will waste a lot of money on programming, education, training, etc for a system that has a lot of unknowns for very little potential improvements. The only real arguments I have heard for the new system is the live bidding. Which is truly worthless until everyone above you has placed their bid. I think the only real way to have an idea of what you can hold comes with experience and a track record of what people above you are bidding.
It does seem it turned into a ****ing contest. But if it is truly that big of an issue...I am not so married to our system that I would refuse to look at something else. And if after a fair comparison, fair testing, and a pilot vote...if the majority wants the other system...lets buy it and roll on
