Even the mainline senior pilots are taking concessions. Let’s see how deep they go into furloughs in the seniority list thanks to them.
Alpa are jackals who eagerly toss your dues into their bank accounts as compensation for having fancy lunches together, while line holders do the real work, only to leave you hanging in crucial moments as they cower & scatter rather than represent your best interests.
I got my taste of this last year, shameful to see, but I’ll certainly never forget it.
very sorry alpa and the C5 senior types there are letting you down. It will bite them, I’m sure, but you’ll move on and be wiser.
stay strong
