Guess the company really does just want to shaft the pilots. Should have expected this after their super sincere contract negations earlier this year. 🙄
Really strange post. Bizarre actually if your trying to make some point. Let’s look at the facts. 25,000 flight attendants, 14,000 pilots. 1900 pilot early retirements verses 4000 flight attendant early retirements. A handful of pilots taking unpaid leaves verses 3900 flight attendants taking unpaid leaves. In addition several hundred flight attendants on 8 month transfer to catering. Additional flight attendants moving to res for 1 or 2 years. Flight attendant monthly line average reduced to 71 hours verses ours at 79. Do you really want to compare us to the flight attendants?
They have reduced inflight staffing by a third in addition to the 71 hour line value.
That should be sobering to pilots about the future planned block hours.
