Keep going above and beyond for the company, doing tasks that aren't yours and hope Bendo and Jyri give you more money.
Requesting paperwork has nothing to do with "bringing the company to its knees," awarding us a new contract. It has to do with solidarity amongst the pilots by saying "Until we are paid what we deserve, we will not be going above and beyond for this airline. We will do our job in a professional and save manner; and when the company decides to recognize the pilots and pay them appropriately, it will be at that time you will see us begin to go above and beyond and "fly it like we own it."
We all want the company to do well. But only a fool will continue to bend over backwards by doing more than their job while the company drags its feet at the table. The is happening at the same time that Bendo and others are CASHING OUT shares of SAVE stock that they are awarded as part of their compensation package.
Can you explain to me how "acting like grown ups" will have a direct path to a new contract since you seem to have a firm grasp on it
And if you'll excuse me..seems like we have a James Ackerman podcast sighting in my inbox...
