JMO As far as my union speaks for me, how about how many junior folks in the last 6 months have said or written that they will take a furlough they just want to have a good contract to come back to. Well that tune has changed. Don't get me wrong I sure as heck don't want furloughs as some that will head out the door I helped get here at UAL. This company has been flying with probably 5000 pilots for the last 6 months, do you really believe the stuff from Insler and SK that we are positioning to spring into action when this is all over? Sorry I don't see it happening that quickly, neither does SK. No worries I don't feel attacked at all, best of luck to you in your career.
SK no, I expect him to try and extract all he can. Insler and the MEC I did not except to hear as much negativity about them at this point. I appreciate your candor and perspective that the company and ALPA may both have an agenda more than be told I’m stealing from you if I vote yes.
It strikes me as odd that this all has to happen at the 11th hour. Fear and expediency are not generally healthy ingredients for effective decision making. I’m still digesting and waiting to see what other downsides are being found. Best wishes to you.
