After the first week of negotiations our VP of flight operations puts out a video on how the company wants concessions on the one or two work rules that make this place bearable to work. This management is a joke.
I see two options at this point. Sharpen your pitchforks or sharpen your pencil and start filling out applications. If you weren’t here for last round of negotiations, dig in it’s going to be a long, painful, ugly ride.
If you took the $50,000 bonus hopefully you didn’t spend it. If you did; UAL, AAL, DAL 2nd year rates are about $50 more per hour so you will break even pretty darn quickly. RUN!
I don't think they can wait... Literally cannot afford it. 30% of our seniority list is on probation? I would imagine back in 2017, only maybe 5% was on probation.
If there is a subpar contract or offer, more will leave. The airline will go under with everyone bailing.
It is standard practice in negotiating to open with a poor offer and see what the other side will meet on. I couldn't imagine a company opening with all the golden geese right off the bat without at least trying for something less before hand.
