Yes the company does pit the pilot groups against each other.....but then again ....it's the Unions job to pit us against the company (for good reason). So we get propaganda from BOTH camps constantly. Yes we need to be unified ....and not roll over and be yes men for our next contract, but we don't need to throw the baby out with the bath water either. Fear mongering and hysteria don't help.....just know that the airline industry has a 10 year cycle and be prepared in case there is a down turn (aka don't live above your means.....aka don't take out a housing loan more than a 1/3 of your paycheck and try and live off of 1/2 a paycheck). I don't care who you are that is just solid life advise whatever the economy is doing.
