IE the company throws a grenade over, the pilot group throws one back over.
This is what the industry has come to. Its sickening but the truth of the matter is new pilots coming to Endeavor will likely be a casualty of war. Come to Endeavor, the pilot group will ensure that extreme measures are taken to dot every i and cross every t or you fail.
As far as listing other reasons why not to come to Endeavor? What's the point. All regional airlines suck equally as bad. Every single company thread on this forum pilots say their airline is the worst and to go elsewhere.
Until the relationship can change between the groups, nothing else can change.
This is another example of how ALPA does not serve the best interests of regional airline pilots directly.
Still incredibly unprofessional. You don't create unity by sacrificing your own people as a "tool", you make yourself weaker and that's what management wants. You need to fight management and the system as a whole, but you don't sacrifice your brothers and sisters to make them into a supposed weapon against those who wronged you. I was military before I went to commercial aviation, these comments sicken the Marine in me. It's the tactics of those who are too uneducated and too afraid to stand up for themselves and a horrible way to think.
