Any word on how the meeting went today? More bullcrap I Suppose
You couldn't be more wrong. We need a page shaming people for placing themselves standing available.
These people are the single largest pilot controlled threat to getting a new contract. We can't control NK management. We can't control the NMB. What we can control is the amount we are picking up open time, accepting deals for MUP and dropped reserve days and covering yet again for their inadequate planning.
There's no incentive for our management to bargain in good faith because they don't need to. There's a list a mile long of pilots willing to run out of the house at a moments notice for 1.5 hours extra to cover their open trips. Flights don't cancel and the operation continues to push through just good enough to not suffer another meltdown.
Until we understand this simple fact nothing will change.
