If we can lock those provisions in I see it as a win for everyone. Don’t forget, these APA pilots are your union brethren albeit not from ALPA. And don’t forget that if you were in their shoes you would also be looking for a soft place to land for a few years. We need to be looking at ways to help each other.
Also worth reminding everyone, locking in the above contractual provisions would be huge in the current environment. We have no leverage. If this turns into an extended downturn then fully expect intense downward pressure on wages and contracts. Keep that in mind.
That’s great and all Chris with wanting to help each other out. I’ve agreed with ya on many posts but this where you and I disagree. What about the junior guys here? You want to push those guys out who chances are do not have a soft landing spot to provide soft landing for guys who made it to the big league. Because that’s what will happen with flow backs. You are just rolling the ball down the hill. That doesn’t seem right.
That’s not helping anyone out except for a select few.
