We have a new CP who doesn’t care about the pilot group except to treat them like ****. They no longer care if you have anything going on in your personal life. Their corporate culture has now become a hostile environment. If it was that wonderful here, why the massive amounts of attrition? They’re new attitude has become “Shut up and just fly.” We have a passive union that will not stick up for the pilots. And leaders who only care about drinking and eating themselves to death at ALPA meetings.
The pilot group isn’t respected but regarded as a liability according to management.
Some of these pilots were great and highly professional and a good group to fly with. It’s a shame what they’re doing to them.
Did you actually witness this or are you just repeating hearsay? If you have any first hand info please PM me.
How would you recommend the union “stick up for pilots” more than they currently are? Every time I’ve had an issue I’ve called a union rep, they’ve called the company, and the company backed down. Or they reminded me that what the company was asking was contractual. There are a few things where the company has decided to unilaterally ignore the contract and those issues are in the grievance process. If you have a problem with how long the grievance process takes, call your senator and ask them to allocate more money to the arbitration process.
