I do value the skills I've cultivated in this career path, that's why I refuse to be stuck somewhere that does not appreciate my abilities and I'll do anything I can to move on. I really do admire the altruistic ideal of "standing up for industry" and I wish you guys success but it's just not me.
So then you should be expecting a major pay cut and benefits reduction at the mainlines since supply out numbers the demand.
Your logic, not mine.
They do appreciate you, they appreciate you for being weak, spineless and will help this side of the industry go lower because you want something for free. Management only respects something they are afraid of and pilots like you they do not respect, they love you for existing to enhance there bonuses but that is as far it goes and they expect you, they demand from you to vote yes and you will. There will be a Christmas card in the mail from management this years, a picture of them sitting on a pile of money there bonuses.
Vote NO be happy
