A solid year at least, of contract violations, indifference to individuals and outright disrespect to a large number of pilots. By design or by mistake, there has been a calculated, measured attempt to pound out every cost they can to YOUR DETRIMENT. The contract is being steamrolled every day, people can't 1) get paid correctly 2) get insurance premiums straight 3) get answers or respectable information from nearly every office at the GO. And on and on. If you are looking to beef up your resumes or use it as a stepping stone, than do it. We are facing the most hostile management found just about anyplace. If you can live with the worst pay in the industry and the level of contempt, then by all means, come on in. In spite of a major push by FAPA, your pay and especially insurance/ retirement, will be substandard FOR YEARS. We aren't amendable for a while and all that will be is a countdown to at least 5 years of Section 6. Go someplace where the crap is similar, but at least you will get paid correctly and you won't feel like needing a shower after talking to management.
Yes, I'm a newb at f9. While I understand things are far from perfect, this seems to be a bit over-the-top on the pessimistic side. I don't have a lot of experience here so I could be wrong, but I've heard this song about virtually every company at one point in time.
