EXCELLENT POINT FOR YOU TOO!!!
Which brings up a bigger picture point. While many like to blame the PCL group for what they did, who's really to blame? It's more like the management as well as ALPA national. Although that's nothing new.
It's really not that different than what the legacies did during the BK's. Took deep cuts, just to maintain they're existence. With some of the legacies taking almost 10 years to see any kind of improvements to work rules and pay. And that pay in some cases is basically nothing more than concessionary rates adjusted for inflation/COL increases.
Sad really. Pilots would rather go micro instead of macro, get hung up on fighting/blaming each other, being our own worst enemy, etc.
And NO, I don't work for PCL.
