No confidence in what anyone in the union says except BL. I can read. It ain't good.
If you vote yes, you're on the companies side. You should probably join the union at this rate, I think you'd fit in well.
Well, conversely, why vote no if it increases the QOL? The few outspoken people are so outraged they didn’t get Endeavor rates, a trip and duty rig, 15 days off, ETC. Unfortunately you can only bargain for things you have the leverage to get - we have none.
Voting no is just as good as keeping things the same. It doesn’t mean we will get more. In fact, if the economy takes a **** and we’re still the lowest paid guys in the industry due to a no vote we probably will have even less leverage in 2021 which is the next midterm negotiation.
Personally, the 5 hour extension is not a deal breaker. I understand why the company wanted it since we fly longer legs with the jet and personally it doesn’t impact me in the least since I’ve only been extended maybe... 2 times?
Whatever boys, vote how you want. It’s a Yes for me and I don’t really care what APC or Facebook has to say about it. I want schedule transparency and for me the trade off of 5 hour extensions / junior man cap is worth it.
