I guess the promise of flow sort of contributes to a feeling of helplessness and dependency. Sort of a ‘they own me’ sort of attitude.
You know, plenty of people at regionals without flow get on at Legacies and majors, and it doesn’t take them ten years to do it either.
Do you have any apps out - with anybody? Are you even exploring other options. That’s not illegal under the RLA you know. And the hiring picture is as favorable as it has been for a long long time.
Yes, I have my apps out, I’m not like 90% of the pilot group here waiting on the flow, it’s in my back pocket.
I think you’re at Compass so I’m not sure if things are different over there with these situations, but what kind of leverage does a WO have especially when we get our flight files pre picked for us by our parent companies? They have complete control, and that’s what big companies typically want. Not trying to sound like a defeatist if that’s how that coming off, but it’s honestly kinda laughable to be comparing ourselves to LCC’s/ Majors when Spirit got their asses handed to them and got smacked with a lawsuit. In fact, AA just WON their lawsuit against the mechanics, so they got smacked with a lawsuit.
Like I said, I’d be more upset if management straight up walked away but they have recognized that the pilot group should get a raise so at this point it’s an extremely annoying waiting game and let the 2 sides figure it out.
What are your thoughts?
