If one is waiting for an airline to make them happy, you’ll be waiting a long FN time.
Aside from paying union dues, staying informed, picketing when asked to, and voting when the time comes. There’s nothing else we, as a group, can do legally. Ask the APA what happened when they attempted self help on their own. Every single Airline management has abused the RLA process. Every single one and it’s been going on for decades. You guys act like other pilot groups never had to deal with the slow process of section 6. You’re not. Not in the slightest.
If that’s the extent of what non job action things you think you can do to help highlight just basic failures…. Then I’m at a loss for words. Spoken as someone intimately familiar with the RLA, who’s not looking to Alaska to provide ANY form of significance, but also, doesn’t intend on doing everything LEGALLY within my power to secure a market rate contract. There’s a reason we’re losing pilots, woefully understaffed, but not cancelling flights. Wonder why THAT is? 🤔
