The company need only read a handful of pages of this to realize they've got us almost exactly where they want us. Division and infighting is exactly what they want leading up to negotiations.
I'm pretty new here, but have some experience with negotiations and a pilot strike in my past. It's time now to elect our new leadership, get involved, and decide as a group what is important moving forward.
I believe constructive discussions about our path forward is healthy, and should be encouraged. But, we are going to get nowhere by rehashing the old vs new argument over and over again. Ultimately it is going to be a collective effort and believe me, you will want as much support from your fellow pilots, especially if and when the tide turns ugly down the road.
I'm not being condescending nor arrogant here, just merely saying we ought to try playing on the same ball field rather than separate ones if we want to see any real gains come next year. I think we can do it.
