Ive always supported improvements at for the bottom of the seniority list and will continue to do so, but it's pretty tone deaf for junior pilots to talk about how 'crappy' this career is and how they can make twice as much at their old job. Go the **** back then.
But it seems like senior like to try to take a **** on junior pilots for calling it like they see it.
I got shat on awhile back for saying that I’ll be shocked if the MEC sent out a TA to the pilot group immediately after the WO’s got their pay raises…. I felt that the market forces has shifted and that whatever was being negotiated needed should have been revisited.
Yet, here we are…. It’s tone deaf to ignore the grievances of those junior to you or members that you represent if you are a union rep. Clearly this is something that this MEC and Negotiating Committe demonstrated.
No one in their right mind will entertain going back to a old job that left United for rather it’s a regional or ACMI.
