Agree entirely. There are REGIONALS that have first year pay of $50 an hour that STILL have to give bonuses to get quality applicants. But that’s not even the point I was trying to make.
What does it do to pilot unity when you hold first year wages hostage to increased wages to people making far more? What are you telling junior people who may want to join you?
That your fellow pilots VALUE YOU LESS THAN MANAGEMENT DOES.
That’s what you are telling them. And then you wonder why there isn’t unity in the pilot group? Why it’s every
Man/woman for him or herself?
Look, the RLA stacks the cards against the union badly enough without the pilot group themselves doing things to screw over pilot unity.
