What I’m saying is that I notice less of a fight in the check of the month club folks as opposed to those that came up through the Part 91/121/135 world.
Check of the month club here. Grew up watching my dad navigate the controller strike, B-scale, end of Flight Engineers, 9/11, concessionary contracts, bankruptcy, loss of retirement, bird flu, swine flu, etc over his airline career. So, I hope I’m eyes open about negotiations. Still my first airline and first contract negotiations. The best vicarious education I’ve found so far is reading Hard Landings, and the two volumes of Flying the Line.
