From the DL thread

“These posts aren’t helping us get a new contract. I keep turning down GS’s. The trips keep getting covered by junior pilots or senior pilots on GS#2. I don’t understand. When I go to work, my captains have all been wearing their hats up to this point. Most are not wearing green lanyards, but are wearing company or plain black lanyards. We haven’t closed out a section since February.

I’m guessing we won’t see a contract for years and our pilots are content with that. It is what it is.”

It seems like some understand the problem. Some act like they don’t. Industry wide problem. This is why we are seeing delayed negotiations throughout the industry and underwhelming extensions and TA proposals. Continue the same behaviors and we will continue to get the same results.
