Raises, work rule changes and retirement improvements were met with managements blank stares.
FUPM bracelets were the net result of all of the above and I sported one from beginning to end. Grown men and women did exist at the time and if you were former CAL, shame on you for not sporting one. If you're not, then perhaps you should be better informed before spouting off on here?
I was cal, and yes it wasn’t the best job in the world, but adults wearing F.U. bracelets was embarrassing. I told professionals outside of the airline business what people were doing and the general consensus was that we were too stupid to be pilots, much less deserve a raise. If you want to be treated like an adult/professional, then act like one.
