Regardless of how much this job is an improvement over your last, I hope that once on the list you will join your colleagues as a member of our union. When asked, I hope that you will demonstrate that unity with your vote, and if called upon, by holding a sign alongside your colleagues in a demonstration of that unity. What is a retirement gig for you, is a profession for the overwhelming majority. It’s essential that we speak with one voice to argue for improvements that elevate our current CBA to one that suitably rewards pilots for the responsibility they have been given, and the years of experience and hardship that forged the tools we use to shoulder that responsibility.
