This makes ZERO sense to me. How would what you make at XJT affect my wages at AS? Both are ALPA carriers.
I guess your insinuation is that low wages at QX prop up AS wages. Except that QX is IBT and AS is ALPA.
Sounds to me like YOUR issue is with your individual NCs and the pilot groups who vote for "ideas" like 20 year contract (Eagle), not ALPA National. National can only advise. Individual NCs accept substandard pay because they KNOW there are a million guys with SJS who would not only fly for free, but pay for the privilege.
