I prefer a company that wants to take care of their employees so that you don't need a union. That may change for us in the future, and many feel it already has. That is fine. But for me it's not there yet, granted I am new. It seems like every time you come here it's to argue about how we are at fault for not having a union.
I have been unionized, and I have watched as the lazy and the incompetent held and kept their jobs when they absolutely should have been fired.
Just my 2 cents
Ask the crews based in SFO this summer that got put on reserve so the company didn't have to pay for cancellations. Ya, that's right a pilot that hasn't been on reserve for years were now on reserve and sitting at the airport for minimum daily guarantee. What did SAPA do for that?
No other airline did that to their crews.
Our policy manual is firmly enforced when it's good for the company and used as a guideline of possibilities when it's not.
I'm afraid with all the changes in upper management that in order to satisfy the almighty chipaway, things are just going to get worse.
