We got an email the other day from our union saying that the company wasn't going to work with us to improve reserve. That they wanted us to drop some contractual grievances that are heading to arbitration in exchange for even talking. Not drop them and we'll give you what you want, rather drop them and we'll return to the negotiating table.
Stories of what the pilots dealt with before I got here, and now the companies dealings now, things are likely to not improve as we have a never ending stream of pilots coming on board who hear "flow" but don't realize that in the 9 years that new hires are forecasted to flow and that the industry will likely face upheaval that will take flow out of the equation.
Long story short, if you want money, go to republic or endeavor.
If you want Dallas, go to Skywest or Mesa.
