Great post, Jack Bauer! I can say Colgan's definitely used those tactics above and obviously, they were very successful!
Honestly, as a newhire, they convinced me good... at first when they came during ground school and brought it up, I thought if the company is THIS against it, there must be a reason we need a union.... But then out of curiosity I read all those newsletters they put out, and found myself agreeing with a lot of things. For a newhire, they were very convincing. Later after the drive failed, I flew with captains who were telling me why they didnt vote, like "did you know that ALPA secretary gets paid so-and-so, why should I have to give my money to pay for their salary, blah blah." I'm like, dude you totally read those newsletters, I mean that's completely verbatim! seriously, cmon.
