The APA is the most ineffective leadership we've ever had, run by a union s**b of a president. There is no unity here and the only way now to jump seniority is through being a CKA. So if you want to secure your position be a CKA.
Serious question, has an uncoordinated effort ever been made at any airline even remotely the size of AA to not pick up straight time, let alone premium? I’m no fan of APA but I don’t think this is a Union problem more of a human nature problem. Seems APA’s hands are tied in what they can ask of their pilots so when a situation that can give us a huge amount of leverage arises (like the LCA issue) they have to tread carefully. Personally I would have liked to have seen my email bombarded with that letter detailing the poor working conditions on a daily basis as opposed to bs issues like 5g, etc.
