Nothing more, nothing less.
No further discussions required, help them all you like dude.
Nobody said that we don't want a good CBA with good improvements. BUT, we do recognize that this is a good place to work, and better than many other places even in our current state.
If someone asks me a question, I will continue to answer them honestly. Yes, we have room to grow with our CBA, but no, this isn't a terrible place to work. Sorry, it just isn't.
Happiness is a mindset, and many of you are making yourselves miserable. Life is too short. Come to work, do your job, go home, and enjoy the fact that you work for a growing company making profits. Support ALPA. Pay your dues, and trust our elected leaders to do their jobs.
We have taken actions to improve things here. We have a union negotiating a CBA. That process is not fast. I'm sorry if you don't have experience with CBA negotiations, and you thought it would happen instantaneously. You're in for much disappointment in this industry if you think things work that way.
