At what point is-
Enough is Enough

Cleaning up this weekend and came across my old Continental Contract, from 2002.
Sect 14- Sick Leave
A pilot will accrue 5 hours each bid period
When is Enough Is Enough

21+ years and no change?!

If we go into Mediation it isn't because of the Union, its because of one and ONLY one individual. He gambled- he lost.
As far as "What Mediation Brings-"
It shows a failure of this management team.
THEY love their PR.
Boom Jet
SAP Fuel
Diversity in Hiring, especially at Aviate
They want the good PR to make the public LOVE our airline.
Maybe they wont be so happy with the Negative PR that comes from requesting Mediation.

None of us WANT Mediation. We WANT, and DESERVE is a Fair and Honest Contract (ILC23) that rewards this pilot group for the Pain & Suffering they sacrificed over the last 20+ years AND to take the next step TOWARDS United Next.
But that won't happen without happy, unstressed Pilots.
