The high number of blue lanyards and blue luggage tags speaks volumes. It is way more than down the middle, I'd say about 75% support this movement. Morale is at an all time low, the abuse by the company is unprecedented. At least when mainline skywest owned us the nobody really gave a crap in management because they weren't being pressured by anybody.
Now they are intentionally going out of their way to violate the contract for pilots and FA's, putting letters in files, calling people in the office for excused sick calls, threatening missed trips and CPP failure. This is not the same airline it was a year ago. This new management wants a battle, we'll give them a battle. It's important for new hires to know the facts and hear real line pilot stories. I know I would want to if I were a potential new hire.
