"Mainline" pilots as they keep calling them (real term is Legacy) do have to work to make money. By just flying our 7/7, with easy average fdp of 20 hrs per tour, at $200, you'd come within $20K of those numbers MP listed.

The fact that the union is refusing to bring this to a vote shows the union knows very well where the majority of the group stands. This is supposed to be a democracy where the voters actually pay to vote but the directorate is refusing to accept the will of the majority. And, if the vote would come to a NO, then all the power to PL and his pyromaniac, so why being so scared of a vote?

Choosing a better financial situation for the last 3-6 years of the contract's life while we can do nothing apart from the lame loser actions that you guys are calling for on the MB (call fatigue as much as possible, AOG planes for nothing, don't extend - great for the EJM pilots getting more flying thanks to us) or choosing to make zero extra for the remaining 6 years, because there's nothing we can do legally until we are in Section 6 in 2029. You prefer being poorer and looking like a loser until then or provide to your family and be in a better situation if things go wrong in the country/globally?

But yes, keep avoiding the vote because you know very well what the outcome will be. "company man", lol, such a childish comment.

You know very well this cannot keep on going on. Demographics have changed, pilots here are starting their careers, others are having their first children, the union cannot keep on blocking people from voting and rule things from the very senior pilots POV. This union management, despite all ther politician narrative they keep on sending us, often as dishonest as company management, - crying "it's them, them bad, them very bad, it's not us, it's them" is losing credibility among a larger segment of the group. They need to start delivering as they did in the past 10 years. Things have changed, this is a new world, we are not in the 2000's anymore.

I understand though that the union management's best strategy is to chase pilots away, especially the younger ones, by refusing any deal until it's almost too late in order to achieve a utopian mass exodus.

In the mean time, EJM is enjoying the selloffs generated by the VED boycott. Great strategy.
