A phone call trying to find common ground is much more productive. And in the spirit of “lowering tension amongst pilots” (to use your words) I think a phone call trying to find common ground is fitting.
I'm all set. I've already made my point. The difference between my "perspective"/"view" and yours is that mine is based purely on the facts and yours seems to be based on anger and emotion. A call with me won't do anything to help you. That approach is likely your actual problem. If you want answers, you should go to the source of the information instead of trying to fuel your own fallacies and speculation on a web forum.
This is a tough situation for everyone. From what I have gathered, we have a group of our own pilots that are working continuously to ensure that we get through the current situation. I think we would all love a solution that resulted in no furloughs, no concessions, and a pay raise, but that isn't where we are right now and that has been explained to us in the union messages. This doesn't mean that we have poor representation as you claimed. Making generalizations like that makes you look like a spoiled kid that doesn't like that he didn't get what he wants.
