What you should be hoping for is a solid Negotiating committee and dedicated group of pilot volunteers, or you may just end up with not much more than what you have now.
I've worked at non union carriers and it sucks I know, but having the right representation in contract talks will/can make a world of difference.
I really hope for the best for you guys and hope you get a CBA on par for what you deserve.
There was some push back by a few because of IBTs reputation. On the near local level, our exco negotiating committee is comprised with top-notch g4 pilots. Management has begun ramping up the rhetoric, by shifting the attention to IBT. Pivoting away from the fact that our exco is comprised of us. So, IBT national, good or bad. Is of no concern to me.
