Is anybody surprised?
Yet another grievance due to management ignoring basic contract law, and imposing their will on the pilot group, and a union more concerned with flowing than making waves. Honestly, I don’t blame them.... fighting back sure didn’t help Neal or me... and sends a great message to the MEC. Stay within bounds or they’ll target you too.
If we had a real union, when the company fires 1/6th of the MEC in one month (the two reps who fight them the most) then a real union would have had 3,000 pilots marching on centerport the next day with media coverage to boot. Nothing even close to that happened. They filed a grievance.
Get in, get your hours and get out. Keep the flow as a last resort backup. Don’t fight them or make waves, the only one to lose will be you. Get your hours and go someplace better. Plenty of options these days. It’s a great time to be a pilot.
