In any case, I think the answer is yes overall. We have a pilot group that is predisposed to go the extra mile, and I think when we feel we are compensated for doing such and have strong contractual protections against the company taking advantage of us in other ways, the tune of the group will change dramatically. (Hopefully not to the extreme of looking at dumpster diving in the cabin with anything other than utmost disgust.)
I would agree and I hope so. I don't think we want to work in a negative environment. But again it is really up to the ELT to fix that. I think you have a pilot group ready to go we just need the ELT to be real leaders and pay us what we deserve.
