i'll continue to use my brain when i'm being fed b.s. and talked to like i'm an idiot. fact of the matter is that each of us have already lost somewhere between $200-$800k in wages and retirement. there is no "home run" deal out there anymore. there is no leverage and this pilot group doesn't want to wait another 18 months and miss out on another $200k-$500k while we wait for the IBT to play with our careers. GU is trying to use allegiant pilots as a stepping stone to get back in power with the airline division. we are just pawns and the worst part out it is that JR is going along with it. i've asked JR tough questions about ibt, GU, negotiations and all i get back are political talking points and how we have to trust GU and ibt leadership.
somewhat agree. The union had a chance to hit a “home run” contract and have us be teamsters forever, but at this point I don’t see us staying teamsters unless it is a phenomenal contract… and even then I don’t know if I see it. Just more false promises that things will change while nothing has changed besides the name of the almighty dictator. I do think we have more leverage than some pilots think but we should’ve had a contract 6 months ago regardless of everything that happened. I’m sure Owen’s and crew were fine and GU just didn’t like that he wasn’t in power. I know for a fact they did not pass a TA requiring us to download apps and have the company track us, it was literally the opposite, that’s just this new regime spreading false nonsense to make them look like superstars.
