No one asked for managements sympathy, and you’re the only one saying abuse. Any more false accusations?
Well....it began with moralizing over the sanctity of (lost) family time and being forced....forced mind you...to work. Hilarious.
And progressed to the FAs have it and JB and the nebulous 'industry standard' plea. Oh...and the claim its a tool to modify and control selected pilots bidding behaviors.
Emotional and pretty adolescent persuations.
Any of those rationales at the bargaining table are not likely to get any traction. Or sympathy.......
See, its them you will have to convince to cough up the $$....not me or any other pilot.
You could try floating your advocacy to your cpo....or maybe email the ceo directly?
He may be completely unaware of the horrors of the conditions of your employment at delta.
So go ahead and ask for it. If it gets worked into the pwa costing we all get to vote on if its worth it or not.
In the mean time stop with the sob stories about 'forced holiday labor', FA working condition envy, and the heavy burden other pilots bidding behaviors place on your life.
