“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

there is obviously not a right or wrong answer here. If the TA comes to us, we all simply have to assess what we are giving to the company, and how vulnerable we think those provisions are long-term and weigh that against the benefits we see coming to this pilot group as a whole. If you’re not inclined to worry about the pilot group as a whole, that is fine. But maybe ask yourself how much of our pilot group you do worry about… Because everything is a spectrum, and maybe you are closer to the f-you (other pilots) pay me mentality than you think
