We will get a new contract, but it will take longer b/c of guys like you and zebra spots picking up extended days and shirking your responsibilities as a professional pilots (flying broken planes and flying fatigued), all while complaining about the big bad union’s inability to get things done.
We have as much leverage as the legacy’s, but unfortunately more pilots who don’t have a clue how to sacrifice now for a better future.
That’s nice but you have no idea the man I am. I’m sure I’ve been here longer than you and have spilt far more blood on the battlefield than you. The rest of your assumptions are just that.
I haven’t said the union is bad and can’t get things done. I just point out the reality of the situation. The union has no leverage and we aren’t in section 6 of negotiations. Everything else is window dressing.
Don’t worry the company isn’t handing out extended days because they are fully staffed and saw the train coming before it could blow its horn.
That should tell you something about the EMT. This isn’t 2015 and the tactics need to change 180 degrees to get anything done.
