I learned long, long ago that everyone's easily replaceable. Everyone in every job, no matter how 'important' it is.
There is nothing cosmic about contract negotiations. I'd much rather have a line pilot who hasn't spent a lot of time in ALPA
For that matter, let's just hire Envoy's NC (or another regional's NC that delivered a great contract) here at United and as soon as they're done with indoc, put them on the NC. At least they were able to deliver a good contract.
Well not that kind of experience. Rather someone with committee experience and knows there way around a bit.
WM and GK, 570s have been around forever. WM was on the NC during the 2000s BK era and gave it all away. No thanks.
