Think about the fact that they haven't had the ability to build up a "strike fund" so its not so easy for them to stare a strike in the face. I have been hearing " well I have a big strike fund, I'm ready to wait it out for the ling haul, you should too. And if you dont it means you weren't smart with your money."
I am 100% a yes vote for the SAV, but a lot of captains and senior FOs are pretty tone deaf when it comes to this stuff with new hires.
I hear what you are saying. Those guys aren't the norm. And honestly, most of those guys are full of *******. You can be pretty sure they will either day trade away their 'strike fund' or lose it in divorce #4.
Try to tune those guys out and resist the FUD that will come from the company as this process begins it's endgame.
