To Mason and any other person "in the know."
It doesn't matter what the facts are. Because perception is reality. Over the last couple years, the pilot group has been lied to or misdirected by both management and the union. This is deplorable. There are also a lot of half-truths spoken or written, so as to give an illusion of credibility. It had become difficult to sort reality with expectations and I think this is intended.
The consequence is there is very little credibility from anyone in a superior position. Even our LEC reps claim to have been misinformed, so their words can not be trusted even if they are trust worthy people.
How can you rely on promises if even basic contractual language is disregarded? As far as the original post? Seek the most reputable outfit. It's better for you psychologically.
ALPA needs to get its house in order. And management deserves no respect.
