Such approval will not be unreasonably withheld."
That's right there in our current crappy CBA for anyone to peruse. Either you're too stupid to read, or you prefer to make up your own self-serving story and vomit it out as fact.
It's not as easy, with purchased tickets and all, but we can still do it. So get over your damned self.
Pilots are where they are for their own reasons, age is only one factor. Get over your damned self.
Pilots going to K4 enjoy pretty much exactly the same as we do with only slight variations in the details. Which is MORE than you, clown. Get over your damned self.
There are no scabs flying the line at ATI. Period. ATI was not on strike. If 1224 had the balls to strike any customers instead of creating their fantasy-world "struck work area", and MOST IMPORTANTLY, if 1224 had the balls to at least give the ATI MEC a few hours notice that they were going to pull that crap, we could have come up with a way to help. But that wasn't the way they wanted to play. So now you feel justified in running around screaming epithets like a stuck pig. Guess what - NO ONE ELSE IN THE WORLD CARES. Just ask ANY AA, UA, DA, Brown, Purple, etc, pilot. Get over your damned self. You helped make the bed you're in. Now sleep in it.
Potential new hires imagine flying with an angry captain who is upset his union didn't achieve any meaningfull scope to protect their flying.
No heavy jet scope and narrow body scope that expires!
Imagine working for an airline that has a retirement that is 10% less than nearly every carrier in the US. Imagine everytime you go into negotiations management threatens that you fly on the cheap or else your job disappears just like the regionals!
Then management comes on these boards and tries to paint a pretty picture of this great airline! Yep that's ATI!
The strike did happen and ATI crossed! ATI opposed a single carrier to stop the wipsaw. And ATI PILOTS voted yes to an agreement that was much less that even OMNIs TA at the same time. If you're seeking a job do you research. If you think Amazon will save the day, Google and see that they estimate 7 years to build out. Imagine being paid 10% less and 10% less in retirement for 7 years!!! And working 16 days in a row, with less days off than every airline in the world except maybe a few!
It's comical how some get on there and defend the worst acmi contract instead of trying to improve it.
