As other posters have pointed out why don’t you step up? I saw a posting for numerous elections over the last few months. Was your name on the list? It’s obvious you believe in an approach that entails opening numerous sections. That, however, was not the opinion of the majority of pilots in the surveys it sounds like. Get over it you were in the minority. The majority wins. This is the basis of a union vs being a none union pilot group. Like pinseeker pointed out show up and recall them or shut up. Talking like a tough guy on the internet about people behind their back is cowardly. Professionalism
I think the bottom line is the targeted approach failed. The NC has made it known they have not negotiated outside of what was in our openers and the scenery has changed drastically. Section 1 was opened by the company, not by us because apparently at that time we didn't desire improvements, and if that isn't an example of a drastic change in scenery compared to what our goals were nearly 24 months ago then I don't know what is. IMO the bottom line is without drastic improvements to Section 1, the other 27 sections don't matter.
