If people would stop rolling over for the first concessionary offer management give them, then maybe they would have to pay more.
Well, guess what? No one but the pilots at PSA voted YES for concessions! AAG management had no power to force it on them and other majors had no vote. After many other pilots took a stand and voted NO to concessions, the PSA pilots decided to undermine those groups and vote yes...
That's been the point all along, if everyone refused anymore concessions, they still need to cover the flying. The whole PSA apologist argument that they would be shut down, etc. is null and void because if ALL of us keep saying NO to concessions, then we can finally put a stop to the downward spiral. It really is that simple.
Wouldn't it be nice if everyone in this profession would stop going just a little lower to poach flying to benefit themselves? Is a little unity too much to ask??
That would all be nice in a perfect world. Fact is ALPA national could easily solve the problem but they choose not too So no unity. People usually do what is best for them. You can never count on the other man to what's good for you. When PSA voted in their contract it was game over for us at Envoy. I am supprised most can not see that. We should have voted in the TA. Now we will be screwed pure and simple. It's game over , period. Lose CRJs base closers displacement and on and on. Now we will get real concessions costing big money and heartake for all.
