Reality check time,
Over the last 3 plus years anytime I brought up contract negotiations I got

1) Mostly just a blank stare ( not even realizing we were in negotiations)
2) We can't and won't see a contract for years
3) The company is losing money ( covid) so how can we get a contract.
4) I'm happy with the contract we have.

So my point is this. The total and complete apathy of the United pilot group has never in my time at the company been so off the charts. We really have nobody to blame but ourselves for this TA. I was literally mocked for even bringing up the topic. On the 15th we will see what we deserve in real time. Will all that fear and loathing during covid set the stage for the next 20yrs or did this POS TA finally snap pilots out of their coma and remind them they are union members ? We shall soon see..
