The majority requested more aggression 6+ months ago and that is what the leadership has provided. Then the most recent survey had the majority request another upping to the aggression. The leadership has given us that too. If the majority believes we went too far (I don't think we have gone far enough), then the next survey will show that and this leadership has proven time and again that they will follow the majority. Honestly, if the majority doesn't step up and then wants things ratcheted back, I would think the current leadership would start thinking beyond stepping down. I'd be thinking about starting over somewhere else if the group cannot cone together. We will not get the improvements that the majority are asking for without breaking some eggs and without the majority getting on board the angry train.
Just how much experience do you even have with our negotiations and the history involving them? I’ll save the anticipation it’s limited.
What exactly eggs are you breaking? You’re not flying with new hires. You’re flying with some of the most senior pilots at this company that have a different perspective because they’ve been through this countless times. In reality you don’t have to make very many decisions.
The guys slugging it out in the phenom and latitude have a very different view of this company. They are actually slugging it out.
So as your “I don’t think we’ve gone far enough comment”. It’s talking from a limited knowledge, history and life on the road.
But it does sound good on an anonymous message board spouting hell and brimstone.
