Do you remember 200%?
Do you remember how we folded like a house of cards when Mr. Smith threatened to lay off out of seniority?
Do you remember 10 years to get a cost of living raise? And then 3 years of negotiations to just get another one.
Do you remember one example of this pilot group standing up to anything?
Alafly, our senior pilots have been outplayed by the company at every turn cause we've never really been into that union thing. Our learning curve has been slow, painful, and embarrassing to anyone with a spine. We hate to be reminded of it and hope nobody in aviation knows. I think we are improving but the senior guys just figured out how to hang around for 5 more years. The truth hurts but some senior guys, the mid seniority and junior guys do have a different attitude. Anytime anybody brags about being here a long time and looks down on you, ask him why he let the company go 10 years without giving the pilots a raise duiring record profits? Thanks for the input and I hope you'll be negotiating my retirement raise some day.
