Complaining about new shirts that don't fit properly, crew meals not arriving on time, and the Hasbrouck Heights Hilton just makes us look like a bunch of cry babies too. Why don't we focus on keeping a simple message? The current salaries are not keeping up with inflation and other carriers have significantly increased their compensation in an effort to attract and retain. Our turn now.
The company has only/always come to the union to fix the problems that THEY created. This is another one. We are just enabling them with the VED. If we don’t keep the 2.5 that doesn’t mean you can’t still extend. And may others that have over extended themselves for the last 2 years will. If you want to get a base pay increase that’s the first step. Then we will almost be as attractive as a regional. Very soon we won’t be able to fill the classes and the attrition will skyrocket. It’s already starting to happen. They will come to us soon. To fix the problems that they created.
