It's not about me being sensitive, it is about all the BS they mouth at our airline about dignity and respect etc etc.
Like Prater says it's time to take it back, not just at CAL the entire industry. It's not just about pay and benefits as a whole in our industry Captain's authority and overall respect for all pilots has gone down the toilet. One contract at a time we do need to take it back. Do you think this would have happened thirty years ago? Don't fall into the trap and allow our careers to continue to be degraded just because it seems in todays world it's acceptable or the norm.
I do my job today as I did yesterday and I will do tomorrow as a professional. I don't take this issue to seriously it is what it is but it is a slap in the face never the less and it motivates me even more to job my union job and help our pilots negotiate a real contract 08.
