We get it.
Ryder is doing more there than anybody else ever has.
Please tell me what is being done to improve the profession? Regionals are still flying 50% of daily departures. Mesa just got fed a horrible TA by our union, "with all the expertise of ALPA's professional negotiators." Why doesn't the FFD committee focus on helping regionals get decent contracts? That'd be a start to improving the profession.
Majors will hire however many they need. There is not a whole lot a committee can do to accelerate that. Job fairs and interview prep already exists. What laws are in place or on their way to prevent whipsawing? Yeah right.
My mind wasn't made up before. I didn't know such a committee even existed (and don't care frankly bc they haven't done anything tangible that I can see, maybe I'm wrong though). I looked at what their goals are and listed them, what their results have been, and drew my conclusions from there. Glad you see how much they are doing. Maybe you all should put some dues money towards a roadshow that shows how much you have done to improve the regional profession.
