It already takes almost 3 years just to get more than a week of vacation. Giving up anything at this point when were already paid the lowest of the low in the industry is just nonsense, especially with a company that is trying to force our hand and playing with peoples' lives by ignoring proposals and waiting until the last week to come to the table, only to offer major permanent concessions. No thanks, sorry to anyone reading this who has been furloughed but the industry will return, and you'll be in a better position from this.
the history lesson is a good idea. Seriously fully support that endeavor.
Not sure if some would even listen to that since it’s almost unbelievable as complete truth. Too easy to say that was a long time ago and cannot happen again. It can and does. Look at XJT and CommutAir. I’ve flown with enough old grizzled Captains at several companies to be very paranoid. The 4 day trip with a grizzled lifer should be a 90 day currency like landings. The group as a whole would have a different perspective and half this stupid stuff wouldn’t even be considered.
