I never wrote you asked anyone to enter a confession; you advocated they were fine under these circumstances. They are assuredly not—unless mutual. And as far as that goes, the silence is deafening—no one on any employer’s side has stepped up to say “yes, we will give our pilots the same security/guarantee we force upon them, it’s a matter of honoring our commitments.”
Until that happens, it’s one sided, bad faith, and anyone advised “it’s fine, sign it” is getting bad advice. If you’re not giving that advice, be clearer, since that’s how your posts read.

No, twisting is when you don’t answer direct points and instead name call or mischaracterize - like your earlier post alleging “heated” opinions or your ad hominem attacks (below and above).

Reply: l don’t know LLWS09R. But reading their posts, they’re on point, and I haven’t seen any personal attack, snarkiness or (poorly executed) word-twisting from them. So given my choice of cocktail party company, sure, they’d be on my list...those engaging in the aforementioned conduct wouldn’t be.

And I don’t care about hotel points, but it’s common sense if some employers offer a bennie that others don’t, they’re disadvantaged with respect to candidates valuing that bennie. Personally l would rather have more pay than hotel miles, but each of us has to make our own value equation, every position is a balance. Employers that cut every corner in their own favor have more recruiting and retention challenges than employers that present a more compelling balance. The market will decide.

Reply: To paraphrase someone else in this thread, that’s the smartest thing you’ve written here. Where was that good judgment several posts ago? Your concern for our feelings is much appreciated, but the best thing you can do is probably just honor the commitment you just made.
