You must not be very familiar with how this works. We’ll strike if released by the NMB. Until then there’s nothing we can do to interrupt operations as a collective action. To suggest otherwise is illegal and irresponsible.
Yesterday showed management how strong the unity of this pilot group is. It sent a very clear message. We will do our job and only our job and fly SOP.
Call me what you wish, but be honest...Do you believe that they were previously unaware of how sick the pilot group is of it? They are fully aware of how many people were and are willing to fill the seats without a proper contract. I have years of experience with this, and B6 crews are in a bad position. Picketing is good for Facebook feels, but at the end of the day, you need quicker motion to declare impasse and show teeth. I don't fault the pilot group for this, it's ALPA that is dragging everyone through this mucky charade.
I get it that everyone is sentimental and touchy about it, but try not to take offense at different viewpoints.
