So we are actually staffed properly when you factor in all the "super pilots"! Contract 2020
Huh. So strange that a guy would "actually tell you that the union told him to do it".
Here is a quote from the chairman of our union.
"Make no mistake, we MUST and WILL continue to go the extra mile to fully obey the TRO and make every effort to restore the operation. We will continue to pick up open time, accept junior assignments and answer crew scheduling because doing so is in our best interests."
And no, there isn't some super secret squirrel code of say this but do that. The union, our union, meaning you and me, have collectively made a decision to bend over backwards to help the operation in anyway possible. You can argue about the merits of this stance (however I would implore you not to do it on this forum), but the stance is clear.
If you want to retort, consider a PM vs a forum reply.
PS I do agree with your first sentence. To them, we are just cost centers. Machines to be used and abused for maximum profit. Welcome to employment.
