So many are getting tired of the union's narrative. They are politicians playing politicians who love a good crisis and have no interest in fixing it. Take the fight away and they have no meaning.
Acting like a bunch spoiled 10 percenters who are just jealous that the 121's are making that much more because they were lucky the post-covid crisis came when their contract expired. The NetJets children have it better than ever in their career, make more than ever in their career but they want to be pay Delta widebody pay, to work less, call fatigue after 6 hours of work, refuse their crew meal if there's too much salt, or not enough sauce, and love just staying in hotels and find every excuse not to do the flying. They are never going to be happy, anywhere, they wouldn't last at a regional and would be *****ing about the job if they made it to a major.
Why would you not want more when there is finally plenty to give? The pay is better than ever before, of you are willing to work more days than ever before, but so what? It can be much more without having to work so many days to achieve it. The job itself is NOT better than ever. Management is NOT managing the business well. They are pushing every department to the breaking point and leaving those at the tip of the spear to fix the problems. I'm tired of dispatch being unable to do their job correctly. I'm tired of having crew food not show up. I'm tired of ITP dropping the ball. I'm tired of having to do more than before to make things work. That is most definitely NOT better than ever before. I, and many more each day, are refusing to fix the problems that incompetent management is causing. I get doing your best to feel satisfied and to have your glass half full, but not trying to have better when it is available is just sad. Are you afraid to fight? Are you afraid to have better? Do you fear that the fight will kill your mediocre job? Did someone from leadership hurt your feelings so now you are willing to argue against them even to your own detriment? I get the feeling I'm just arguing in circles with management or someone looking for an SDP position, but you got me to bite once again. Maybe next time I'll be able to keep my hands off the keyboard since I'm sure I can't convince you and there is no way you will ever convince me.
