Let them shrink the airline. IF they really will. They will hurt themselves far worse by lost revenue versus paying what you should really be making.
Let them furlough and send everyone home and park airplanes to their hearts content. Or say they will anyway. Because they wont do it. Its a scare tactic.
Anyone making less than 80,000 a year flying right seat in a jet aircraft is comprimising the integrity of the profession. Face that fact.
You're dead wrong here IronWalt. There are very FEW people (only in the Majors) that make 80K right seat now and that number will shrink as wages continue to drop. The FACT is the reality of our profession now....
These airplanes won't be parked.....
They'll be absorbed by SKW. Chest thumping and threats about earning more won't get you anywhere but on the street without a job. ALPA at the regional level is worthless. The NEW Reality is that we MUST be competitive or else shrink into oblivion.
