Now what can we do? Our union should send a message from pilots to the company. Comms are severely lacking in both directions. Waiting hours in some cases is affecting our customers and it’s also affecting our pilots who have commutes and personal commitments elsewhere.
You might be missing the point about EWR and how little influence pilots have in making changes. The union can write letters all day long and it does nothing, it never has. I’ve been operating in EWR for going on 20 years and nothing changes……..ever. Different management teams have come and gone over the years, each with a different plan and campaign about how things are going to improve, yet nothing ever does. The old saying about making a silk purse out of a sow’s ear is appropriate. All we can do as pilots is keep the cabin cool, keep the passengers informed, accept EWR for what it is, and get paid by the minute.
