That was confusing. Are you implying that the TWA/AA folks are not in support of our union? If so, I beg to differ. Of course I welcome our new pilots but unfortunately, the time from "happy new hire" to "buyer's remorse" is growing shorter and shorter. Management will be more inclined to secure a first IBT contract with us if there weren't hundreds of pilots lining up to work here. It's simple supply and demand. When I was hired several years ago, nobody else was hiring so the choices were limited. With the way things are going (or will be), I just fail to see the appeal of this place for a new hire.
