If things keep going on the current track our EXCO wants, the "bottom" will be cycling through as fast as possible anyways. They won't even file grievances that they feel aren't worth it!!! Atlas will be the likes of Mesa, PSA, Republic, Expressjet, etc. Get enough qualifications to apply for something better...
Wow, that is a harsh verdict on the ExCo...I have a few thoughts!!
1. Have you called the ExCo and talked "our Chairman"? I'm sure he'd be glad to receive your call and tell you what he's been up to...I've done that on several times and have always reached him.
2. Before you start flinging stuff at everyone else, how about taking a look around you...I can name a thousand instances that our own pilots have sabotaged our cause. Every time you accept an assignment, a sub-standard hotel, a sleepy van driver in Shanghai, etc and NOT call the company on their folly, you are an accomplice.
3. Have you offered to help? Are you on a Union committee? Are you willing to work from within and fix things...
4. Feel free to PM me and we can talk about this...I'm not too keen on airing our dirty laundry here. I'll be happy to tell you who I am, and we can figure this out...
I'm not trying to pick on you here...I'm just tired of the negative comments from our own group that don't really have the full picture...
