I don't think it's the union's decision to arbitrarily start negotiations anytime, there is a due process, and as everything it takes time. If you were here prior to this contract then you know how it is.
Unity, patience, understanding the process, communication and information are the key to get thru this thing.
I agree completly with you and im sure their doing negotiations right now. I do think the union guys negotiating will take into account what us pilots say and want but how good are they gonna be at doing it? We can only wait and see but when I see other airlines making decent profits and their pilots making bank I expect my pay to be equal or exceed theres. I ain't talking hourly rates eithr, I'm talking w2s. Who cares if I'm getting $140 an hour or $160 an hour I care about what my annual pay and benefits amount to. And my quality of life I don't want that to change either. I haven't seen an email yet but that's no bother, ill wait.
