That will eventually get the companies attention when enough guys are POed and feel and act that way.
We aren’t there yet, and I hope we don’t get there...I enjoy going to work, I enjoy working for the best airline imho. I don’t want that to go sour, it s really up to the company to keep this machine rolling, I will be glad and happy to do as much as I can to keep this big machine oiled and rolling.....
...but there is a timeline. I hope management realizes this and doesn’t poop away the goodwill we have or our competitive edge and pax loyalty.
I have heard this every three years for the last 30 years. “”The pilot’s goodwill, etc., etc.” Don’t let yourself buy into the hype. Most people will still get strollers, if that is their thing, even if they don’t get a 3% raise any time soon. JMHO
I do agree it will probably drag out for much longer than average - for many reasons. If it goes on for three years I’d look internally at the MEC leadership before I’d look at the company. Management is constant across the years in that they will always want a deal that is reasonable with a counter party that is willing to negotiate. Start down the 40% raise path - and don’t stray left or right - it gets pretty slow and muddy.
