My question is primarily around the management vs pilots issues right now and come from the perspective of someone who has never been in a union or dealt with a CBA, so please bear with me. From looking at BayBum's post above it appears that there is potential for a hostile attitude towards people who are hired in the near term. Is this going to be an issue? I want to fly at Atlas, I don't have to. I like the equipment and I love the international flying, it's been my favorite part of my Air Force career. I fully stand with the position of the pilot force and will fight for the better contract everyone deserves. I just don't want to potentially come into a new job with a target on my back. Am I being too paranoid, not paranoid enough? Thanks in advance for any feedback.
No hostility from me until you ask what is opt, max and recommended mean in the fms......after you have been through initial and oe! I'm guessing you don't fall in that category. Welcome, we need people who aren't impressed by big shiny airplanes. I would go back to my old DC-9 if I could have a fair contract and good quality of life.
