You look like you are new here. In 2015, we could have fixed our A plan, and cut out the new hires. Do you prefer that we had done that? We protected your retirement in 2015, at our expense, and now you want to throw us under the bus? You are a real piece of work. You are probably one of the new hires who got right seat wide body as a new hire and are entitled.
Also, I put 25% pay raise on my survey or I am a no vote. I want the pay, and I want
everyone's (including
your's) retirement fixed.
You need to think before you slam the guys who have been here longer. A lot of times, it was the union leadership that made decisions, and coerced the pilots into voting yes. I have lost count of how many times I have voted no. I think the last time I vote yes was 2006 and maybe 2012 (the second year of the bridge, when it would have been stupid to vote no).
Oh, and you probably didn't have to sit sideways for 4 years, now did you?
The guys hired since 2015 have reaped immense benefits, yet are eager to throw the old guys out the door and under the crew bus.
You should be more grateful.
