That's the key: En-masse.
One of the reasons the IPA has been so successful in raising the bar higher than any other group on the planet, is because of our unified, vitriolic misgivings toward management.
Three years after the furlough, we still have near 100% support of the CBA approved Open Time Ban when directed by our EB.
We always have near 100% support of the No Waivers/No Favors Policy.
The number of grievances the IPA files against the Company exponentially exceeds that of any other pilot group. Because we push back, HARD.
We have 100% support of ANY other pilot group in a strike or job action, to include refusing commercial deadheads on their carriers.
We had 100% IPA walkout in support of the last Teamsters strike.
We will have 100% walkout of any future strike. We only have about five dbags with scab blood in the IPA. Somehow they snuck through the cracks. They shall remain closely monitored.
The foregoing are some of the legal en-masse actions that can be openly discussed without any IPA guys getting in trouble.
I don't want to sound like a know-it-all, because I don't know much, especially about the finer points of the current PAX industry.
Historically speaking, I've heard of some other pilot groups exercising job actions that are vaguely legal, but nearly impossible to source and prove:
These might include things like hyper-concern for MX issues. Hyper-concern for anything. No early push-back. Slow taxi. Sick-outs. Everyone switching their bid to different equipment.
But it would be illegal for me to suggest you guys do those things.
Did I just say that out loud?
Stay united and strong.
