“i’ve seen enough that I can make sound decisions to help myself” is the exact opposite sentiment of solidarity.
The double furloughees at United obviously have a right to feel this way… But please just don’t come on here and tell me you are a strong unionist, when the second a pay cut comes your way you start questioning the character of the MEC.
not to mention, all the “no concessions” guys were “my union speaks for me,” until the MEC decided to POSSIBLY send a TA to them... Funny how that works
Can you define concession for me? What if my definition is different?
When you got hired at UAL did you realize that we had a seniority based system? IF UAL decides to furlough pilots they will come from the bottom of this list. The fault for the furlough will NEVER lay with another pilot (or block of pilots). Look, I'm on board with considering options to mitigate or eliminate furloughs, but the idea that I OWE you that is wrong. This attitude is not helping your cause.
