Here's an idea. Lets get a better contract and do whatever it takes to get a better agreement in place. And let's get out of the mindset that this management team is somehow a better negotiating squad than those at AA, UAL, DAL, and so on.
We need new hire to leave? We need to hire a professional negotiator? I call BS. It's a mindset that needs to change. And new hires leaving ain't going to do that.
Let's start with the mindset of the pilot group.
You're exactly right-CAs using FOs as a means to an end. Get ready to be thrown under the bus, again. Mindset change? This pilot group? When is Hell scheduled to freeze over? Don't be naive. Keep your options open.
