Yet we are cancelling 30-40 flights a day with big days cancelling over 100 flights a day. Why did they care so much last year and now they hardly care at all?
It's only leverage for management when they want to threaten us about using sick time when it suits them. Even FO's leaving the airline in record number isn't leverage to get a market rate contract. Amazing.
Not despair brother!!! Their fight isn’t with us…. It’s with reality. They’re betting that we’d prefer to sell our services at a discount…. that at the end of the day, because they know what it’d cost US, that we’ll fold like a cheap suit. I still say if you can’t get a market rate contract in this environment, then you’ll NEVER get one.
Guess we’ll just have to see who blinks first. Good luck beating analyst projections without us.
