I just like to think for myself.

I never said I was okay with it. That's your take away from it, not what I'm implying. Please, quote me where I said "I'm okay/fine/happy with this."

See. Question the company and you've got tons of people on the internet to pat you on the back and sagely nod. Question the union on anything, and you're a pariah or a company plant.

And again, this has nothing to do with regional vs major. We're not talking pay/benefits/QoL here, at least that's not my point. I'm talking about the potential for union side tracking, stirring the pot or half truths. That's a possibility at a major just as much as a regional. Or are you people implying that everyone in a position at the union will always have everyone's best interest at heart 100% of the time?

Based on what an actual new hire has posted in the thread, it does seem the company is cutting new hire pay. That's unacceptable and I wish someone could do something about it. Although, I AM confused on how the union can say "We can't help on the pay because we can't represent new hires" but two paragraphs later they state that any new hire will have representation at a Training Review Board. And before anyone asks, yes, I have contacted my rep for clarification on the issue.....
