Stay tough, don't answer your phone and fly your line. It's hard to pass up premium trips I know. I passed on two JA's this week already but they cancelled 16 fights yesterday and three already this morning. They can't keep this up going into the spring break and summer season. If we all stay the course and the union cranks up the pressure and non management pilots stop working for free, management will have to deal and pbs won't be a factor.
We all did great to let the NC know about being unhappy about the progress of negotiations. we should let all our co workers know that we are all in this together. Pass it along, this is the perfect time to put the breaks on! NC will give management our economic proposal on the 13th. They will come back in April with a response. I bet they will play ball between now and then if cancellations continue to increase and guys don't answer the phone!!!
