Breeze put union thoughts in our minds very early on because of how things were quickly turning out in the 8 months leading up to the launch.. and some of the cadre flat out warned them!
Remember how we got the work rules the week before the launch?? And when we complained we were nicely told to pound sand? Remember the "training pay" concocted in the 11th hour before we started class? 2500 for CQFOs who applied to DEC? The insult of the equity offering to employees valued at 5-1 of Series A with 4 planes on property? And where was DN? Nowhere to be found among the rank and file.
That was the beginning of people's desire for ALPA..
Because hope is not a strategy
