We aren't worth more than what would still be a substandard industry contract, even today, plus the absolute pillaging of even basic work rules that people receive at even the regional level? And by the way, regarding your quicker upgrade than any legacy... Delta is at 2 years. We are at 2.5 and getting lengthier every bid. May want to fact check. Go back to your single engine taxiing and shaking hands at the GO.
you are talking with your female hormones. we can all go around acting like this is a slight against pilot humanity. the company proposals are ridiculous. but then i already stated that. (maybe you failed reading comprehension). every airline in the history of airlines has made opening proposals to its work groups of a similar nature. the mistake everyone is making is that they are taking it personally. just one more asinine thing to stick it to the man? i suppose in a way there can be truth interpreted in that with everything else that has gone on here in the last couple years. when you talk about what is "happening" here, this doesn't qualify. those proposals are just stupid words on a piece of paper. blah blah blah........
if you are so upset about it, what are you going to do to make it better? are you going to find a better job? are you going to volunteer with the union? probably the limit of your action will be 6itching among other pilots and pi$$ing and moaning on the message boards all day. you and others are wasting your energy. be pi$$ed if you need to be but channel it into something useful.
yes, delta does have a 2 year upgrade if you don't mind doing 717 regional flying out of new york. when i was hired here, the upgrade there was a good deal longer than that. i suppose you already knew this though......
