None of this will change my life but when I keep hearing the all in this together now I just go back to those meetings hearing the junior folks fight against helping out some folks that have made it better for them. I also don't think anything you do now will stop the ch-11 proceedings in the near future. I also would rather have you gainfully employed. JMO but everyone that thinks they are being saved better start on plan b as this company has been headed to ch11 since SK got here, the time line has been accelerated.
Wow, I’m confused, when was this A plan restoration idea ever brought up in any official capacity to discuss it let alone shoot it down? And who are the junior folks who wielded the power and numbers to shoot it down. I’d absolutely support some sort of bonus for those who’ve lost A plane. Never had the chance to voice an opinion on the topic.
And the more I read and hear I remain undecided. I had plans today so missed it live and hope to see the Q&A to help fill in more details. I truly see multiple logical arguments to pro and con. I’d like to hear constructive criticism of the deserting 3 votes too.
I am also struck with how often I heard my Union speaks for me and now we have a huge divide. Do that many people really think the union did not speak for them? Why would Todd and other ALPA MEC vote yes if they felt it was a bad deal? Why ignore the masses? I ask you because honestly you are opposed toward this TA and seemingly those who approved it. What’s rationale do you think they used to pass it and now push it? Hope I’m not perceived as attacking you. Your passionate and I want to know why you think the MEC would hurt so many senior and junior pilots. Are they incompetent, negligent to the right needs of the union or are 16 of 19 just wrong and not smart enough to see the companies strategy?
