As I and the rest of your MEC continue to pursue a CBA that returns us to pre-bankruptcy expectations, we continually strive for labor relations that bring us back to where we were pre-bankruptcy as well. It seems many in middle management still don’t believe that incumbent pilots are upset about the degraded quality of life and the misery that the current schedules are wrecking upon our families. We work to live, not live to work – and although each and every one of our co-workers is like family – our time at home is priceless and precious.

We will continue to show our management leadership that quality of life is the most important aspect of any job, but we need your help. Please engage your LEC and MEC representatives with your thoughts, discuss possibilities, and stay united. Respectfully engage your Chief Pilot Office staff. Only through unified action has a labor group ever produced results.
