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...
I don't care about A14 or D0 or anything like that for that matter. But having my choice to inquire about paperwork (maybe dispatch hasn't filed it yet due to EDCT, wx, maintenance etc? It is very much my job to know things that affect the safe and legal outcome of my flight...) being met with mic clicks and pot shots from other pilots (even if they are just puffery on an online forum) is not a sign of solidarity. This pilot group is eating itself alive with that crap, along with "slopers" and whatever else goes on in APC. We are all in this together, and we are in it for the long haul, no matter what JA says. Just act like professionals, and keep your resume updated. QOL is one thing, sending your kids to college is another. Shouldn't have to choose in this profession with these profits. But throwing tantrums and turning on each other gets us nowhere, and neither does meaningless online posturing.
