Here's the thing, the union could clear this up in a nanosecond if they wanted to. Instead of just dropping ambiguous words like "mature contracts" and "at risk", take about 5 more minutes and spell out exactly what you mean. The lack of trust from the pilot group comes from being broadsided in the past with things that were not clearly discussed or asked for.

Again, clear goals spelled out so everybody is on the same page....and publish the survey results. This creates unity as opposed to what we have here....the insiders dropping crumbs which seem to hint going the wrong direction while the membership tries to make sense of it and is berated by guys like you from the union for doing so.
