I do like working here, but of course there are downsides. The schedules could be more efficient. The pay could be better, but one can say that about any regional. Also, we don't have junior manning.
You have to remember that we are entering contract negotiations, and that management has hired a big gun union buster. I fully (as does my wife who has insider management information) believe that these things you have heard are the company's attempts to divide and conquer us. I also think that they have underestimated how resolved this has made our pilot group. Demand for pilot's is up, I suspect we will announce additional flying in the coming months, and we are in a good place to come out with an industry leading contract.
