"Always"? Not to be confrontational or "pretty negative", but how long have you been here?

Are you aware of the openly contemptuous tactics and extreme disregard that have taken place, even long before the union was even here? Disregard of work rules, alienation and isolation of the pilot group (months without communication) pushing pilots, w-2 cuts, inability to PTO due to mission mode abuse, removal of crew rooms, boarding decisions removed, fuel discretion challenged, ...that your brothers and sisters were deployed for up to a year and a half, away from their families without the ability to commute?? These are previously unheard of measures taken by a hostile management team and a small sample of who we are dealing with.

Are you attending the negotiations to know whether your statement is accurate? Were you in the courtroom during the contempt and cover ups?....when our previous representation was labeled a 'kabuki dance'?

Were you here during the legendary stall period when the ops vp flatly lied in an open letter to the pilots, claiming our negotiators were late and unprepared when in fact it was his lawyer that had quit (3rd one) and needed time to get up to speed? Were you here when low-level 'place-keepers' were sent, period after period, to fill the square?

Just curious.
