I am not interested in what anyone from any other work group thinks of us. I don't care what management thinks of us. My only concern is attaining an industry leading contract from the most profitable airline in the world. The money is there. Let's take it, even if we have to beat it out of them with a strike. I'm 99% sure that's what it will take anyway. No mercy.Originally Posted by sqwkvfr
It's not a conspiracy. Management's advisors (Ford and Harrison) have ran this playbook many times. Every G4 pilot who came from Republic knows what it's like to deal with dispatchers, schedulers, FAs, or MX people who overtly complain that your write-up, etc., is a "union" or "contract thing." It was management's wet dream...FREE peer pressure to take shortcuts and thus improve operational reliability. In a lot of cases, it worked. It also created a toxic work environment that will linger in that company for many years...new contract or not.
