Otherwise you're just a yappy dog sitting in the corner annoying the hell out of everyone with your chihuahua-like bark and no bite. Using our current crappy, outdated CBA that is now open for negotiations does not count because that is the contract we are currently bound by. Examples please.
What are you doing to either leave for greener pastures or to make SAI a better place Diesel8? If your answer to this questions is "nothing" than you really should just $TFU!
Strikes,
Stop telling people to shut up. You're not the internet police. Don't like Diesel's point of view? Don't read it. Better yet, refute it with facts.
SAI is not a career destination for anyone, apart from you 777 Captains. And we all know there is snowball's chance in hell of anyone othern than the next ten names down the seniority list seeing the left seat in the triple before the end of the decade.
You want a concrete example of disrespect? Where are you staying in LAX? I was on the hotel committee and I couldn't get a straight answer. The company wanted to do site inspections on extended stay properties that had less than a two star average on Yelp. Because they were cheaper than the Crowne Plaza. How about Leipzig? The Penta is ok, but the Marriott was much better. Seems the company burned a bridge there and we will never get back now. The 737 guys are stuck in the boonies in RNO. Do you love the CVG Hilton? Because at $63 a night you will be there
forever. But since breakfast and points cost an extra $5 a night, you won't see them again.
The current crappy CBA most certainly does count as disrespect. Proposing it in the first place demonstrated their disrespect for the pilots. The fact that a majority of the membership had so little self-respect as to approve it does not diminish management's disdain for us.
If they did have any respect for us, management would come to us now and say, "The contract we have now is far below market. Yeah, we screwed up our bid for 737 flying with DHL, and can't afford much more, but we can offer you ABC and XYZ. Its not a lot but we'd like to do it as a show of good will. We certainly need the pilots to move our freight on time. And if people keep quitting at this rate we're gonna have to park airplanes again."
But they won't throw crumbs at us because we don't rate as high as pigeons do to them; we're barely worms.
