My point is that, if the company had the ability to offer 25% - 30% (not that they likely would actually offer that), you just told them that you would settle for 20%. So now they'll low ball from there.
You don't think that they absolutely LOVE to see the pilot group going out on public forums to bash thier union? This just gives them ammo to further fracture the pilot group. Play the haves against the have-nots. Disagree with your union all you want. Call them, go to meetings and get in thier faces if you want. Challenge thier position and run against them if you want. But for the love of God, DON'T wave your dirty laundry in your bosses faces!
You don't like what's coming from ALPA? Bro, YOU ARE ALPA!
