To those saying that if we vote this down we will still have jobs, again you have proven zero knowledge of our pilot group, and the state of the aircraft we operate. So basically what I'm saying is, move on.
P.S., Can you tell your negotiating committee at Envoy to stop trying to take our mainline slots. Thanks.
If your pilot group is so "senior", there should be some there that remember when pattern bargaining meant that each pilot group tried to improve upon the current best contract of their peers.
Now you guys have apparently all been brainwashed by management into believing that you better sign off on the first crummy concessionary contract that they offer or it's lights out.
Hasn't your "senior" pilot group seen this same B/S by management time after time? They're making BILLIONS not millions in profit per quarter and they need concessions of any sort, really???
They have used the "doom and gloom" tactics with every single pilot group in every single attempt at getting concessions. That's just one of their many Smith and Henderson directed "negotiating tactics".
We finally have age 65, 117, and the new ATP rules on our side...
Please, don't throw this opportunity to tell Dougie NO away(along with your fellow flight crews at Envoy, Silver, Republic and Expressjet that have already voted NO)!
