While our management prides themselves on being "different" when it comes to revenue generation, the difference stops there. They are actually quite horrible at dealing with employees. Any anti-labor communication that we receive is ripped directly out of the Ford & Harrison playbook. I'm not sure if they even know how little effort it would have taken to keep their 3 employee groups from unionizing. The vote for the pilots was actually very narrow in favor of IBT. Fast forward to today. They've managed to alienate the 40% who voted NO and turned them right around. It's now 98%+ in favor of shutting this industry cancer down. You don't get those numbers by having ANY positive employee relations. They could have negotiated in good faith and we probably would have signed a contract with industry standard (maybe even a bit less) provisions. That's all out the window now. We want it all now. It's not just about money anymore.
