A lot of us aren’t seeing path to success following the current course.
Please show or tell us how we win by following the MEC blindly down this path?
I tried telling these guys, you aren’t only attacking the company with this nonsense, you are attacking new hires as well. Pilots come to regionals in hopes of rapid advancement. That is beginning to show promise at XJT. In fact the signs have been there for some time for those willing to look.
Trying to prevent new hires from coming to XJT is a cheap tactic that only benefits lifers who have no intention of ever leaving!!!!
Anyone who wants to advance their careers by upgrading sooner, getting off reserve sooner, moving on to their next job sooner is HARMED by this union tactic!!!
We pay union dues just like the rest of the pilots!! We deserve to have OUR interests represented!!
There are ways to negotiate without attacking our own pilots!!!
