I thought the union is playing chess while the company’s playing checkers? It cannot be true that the company has been taking from us for years via strategic negotiations AND the union is playing chess while the company plays checkers. I’m confused on this one?
I understand the frustration, but this is not the way to build a strong labor group. Telling the junior pilots to suck it up and pay your dues (literal and figurative dues) before their voice/vote matters is not sustainable. Try again to negotiate a voluntary option to mitigate these furloughs. Not because management deserves it (they f’ing don’t) but because our junior pilots deserve it.
