Everyone that I interacted with across a wide seniority spectrum saw them for what they are...complete BS.
I think that was also apparent in the union's reaction to it, which was disdain, doubt, anger, and ridicule of the very idea and those who were peddling it.
a 'buddy', though that relationship is waning, was 100% in on forfeiting 10% of our pay.
he preaches that "we need to do what's best for the company at all times. we need them, they dont need us."
he also voted Yes on TA1.
i told him TA1 was BS.
i told him this 10% cut was BS.
i told him 'your welcome' for your pay raise with TA2, and the B Fund.
as a senior FO the dude lived on premium, always texted me about his fat turn or 2 day he got at 1.5 pay.
he'll drop what he's doing to fly prem as a capt of course.
when i point out to him that if he got that trip at P then he for sure would have gotten it at Straight.
his response, well, it's not that much or that often.
some people are not salvagable.
