I get the not picking up straight time argument. If no one picked anything up at straight time then we would obviously need more pilots or they'd have to offer more premium.
The fact is the union didn't tell us not to pick up straight time (they can't legally). But they did ask us not to float. So sounds like that guy is just trying to justify his decision to float.
Actually, if we didn't pick up ANY time, that would send the message loud and clear.
If Isom wanted to go after the no float message, I believe he could. I actually don't think the company cares. You remember the summer of love around here? Did you actually read the injunction against USAPA? If not, you should.
It is next to impossible for the union to tell us things in the clear. Pilots have to be willing to do it on their own.
Are we unhappy with our contract? I doubt the company sees that if there is a list for premium a mile long. How unhappy can we be if we are signing up for more, often at times of a bad operation?
