Clutch, Are you really saying you don't care about anyone new getting hired here?
I've been under the assumption that regardless of 4,200 pilots being separate people, we still have a common goal. Our wages, pay and benefits are what we have because of the pilots and Unions that have preceded us. No one would be making what we make if it wasn't for collective bargaining.
So if its the pull up the ladder and I got mine attitude, I guess I'll just start flying every DP. And when my seniority will be in the double digits, that's two not three numbers, I'll just bid carryover, protect it and fly my ass off. I'll sell back vacation, save all my sick and on the next contract, if I'm here, vote,"Yes" because I'll benefit going out the door.
That's not really what I meant. I just find the block rep who wrote the piece posing questions about hiring, down-bids, and even furloughs to be utterly ridiculous. Vote this T/A in and you might get furloughed? Come on.
I've read a lot of opinions on why this T/A is not acceptable. Many, very well thought out and supported with research and facts. The block 6 reps arguments do not come close to that level in my opinion. TC's defense of her notwithstanding.
