Try looking at it objectively.
There is a pilot shortage and first year FO pay sucks. It just changed. They just got a $10k pay raise, and it was taken away by the captains that they are flying with because they wanted to make more as well.
Nobody has yet to answer me so please be the first, if the company wanted to give every captain a $10k bonus how would the FOs react? I would say no bonuses (even though it benefits me) unless we all get one. That is unionism and that is our leverage. Don't like it? Go to SkyWest or another non union carrier. Did you ever read either volume of Flying the Line? Maybe spend less time preaching on apc and more time researching how to be a good union pilot. Think that stuff would fly at the majors?
