The hedge fund Wall Street and management types slept at home every night reaping billions barely doing a fraction of the work, and couldn’t step into our shoes if they tried. They’d kill everyone on board. There is no “but, however, yeah but...” F all of that and get any semblance of ration for concession out of your heads. Those that profited the most, doing the least, can be the first to preserve their cash cow. Zero give, zero concessions. Period F’ing Dot.
Everyone sack up, grab the shoulder of the pilot to your left and right, step off in unison and knock off the BS. Now is the time for intestinal fortitude, if you don’t have it, then be quiet and let those that do charge forward (or find another career). No one is looking out for us, but us.
That’s all good and well, but either you didn’t understand my point or there’s just so much emotion behind these issues that you missed it completely. I get it. This sucks. It always does. I’m not suggesting we have concessions. I’m saying we should give NOTHING. We should give nothing because they’re going to take from us anyway. I’m saying this is just another cycle of labor arbitrage. We’re looking at the largest layoff in the airline’s history and most every person under the axe that finds new employment will be paid far less, with far less benefits, and for a far greater workload.
