Right now the management seems to be entirely happy to operate an airline with soon-to-be-topped-out-at-old-rates CA over 12s and guys barely off consolidation. Cinco’s screw-our-junior-brethren plan doesn’t seem to be very effective, and it is hurting our junior brethren.
You’re incredibly ignorant. Those horrible training rates and first year pay is the only chance we have to get gains for all. So if you call using that leverage to benefit all of us, so be it. I’ll gladly admit that.
Anyone on first year understands that the gains will be worth it, if they choose to stay. If they don’t, I wish them best.
