APA stabbed us in the back. Plain and simple. They were perfectly fine with throwing 2500 pilots out on the street with no pay during the worst economic crisis since the 1930s. But they refuse to save those 2500 by reducing the average line value for all by a couple of hours. Just a few hours means absolutely nothing in the long run. Particularly when you can attach a time limit to it. For pilots making north of $200k a year, 4 or 5 less hours on average a month means nothing. 99% of them can fly more than that during MU anyway.

This was deplorable on the part of APA. Made even worse by the fact that they continue to defend it so adamantly. I'm against outright concessions, such as touching our hourly pay. But this is an example of when screaming "no concessions" without any other context backfires. We need a complete revamp of APA. Every single current Chair and Vice Chair needs to be replaced.
