You should be telling the pilot group to be tougher, just be sure you are correct. That should be your message. I submit PSA pilots have the problems they have because they are being held back from their full potential by a union that would rather play it safe then play it correctly.
At what point did living up to an agreement negotiated in good faith become politically uncorrect to this union and its membership?
Hey maybe I'm wrong and the pilot group feels they should just cave in on demand, if so I'm sure I'll here about it. The group should feel free to chime in.
I'll say it again, your position is informed more by a lack of knowledge and surplus of bravado more than anything else.
The union is advocating following applicable labor law, but if you chose to be ignorant of that then having an intelligent conversation is pretty much impossible.
But like I've said to you plenty of times, feel free to lead the recall and/or certification drive if you really feel the need. Or heck, put your name in the hat for a rep position.
Or, you can just continue to spout off here and on JIA. Because THAT's productive.
