All we can do is support our union and decide when time to vote, if all these lost years are worth what's on the table.
If you can't wait then leave, and go make Allegiant pilots miserable with your negativity.
It's funny how we are so quick to restrain ourselves when the other side does not play by the same rules.
Every time we discuss becoming more agressive there is a group of guys who display battered spouse syndrome and consistently tell us not to rock the boat. They say the mediator won't like us or that the union shouldn't provide guidance on legally available actions because the mediator will use that against us.
It's all BS. Every airline out there uses legal tactics to motivate management to negotiate.
From Delta pilots marching on one hub after another all the way to their HQ. AA pilots writing up worn placards and broken coffee cups, SW making very public displays... the list goes on and on.
The company plays both sides, they negotiate while NOIs go up etc.
Why are we all so convinced there is nothing we can or should do.
