The only people that actually matter, our negotiators, actually know this concept. And they have said it directly. The more people that leave and the more uncertain our future becomes, the better it is for the pilots. That’s why they haven’t jumped the gun on a new JCBA. Just patiently waiting.
Agreed. IMHO, regional pilots have always had very little leverage.
In most companies ( all business, not just airlines), management only reacts when it has to.
I respect that XJT pilots on here tell it like it is.
There are a number of pilots on the forums encouraging people to come to their regional, so they can move up, knowing that there are major issues, and sugar coating it.
