Unity is what we need now more than ever. communicate with your reps, do your job, and when you get frustrated vent to your pilots to your left or right. When the Kings have the peasants fighting amongst themselves the target is not on them. The issue is the Company’s unwillingness to negotiate. We are all eager to hear how the next few rounds of negotiations play out with the new mediator.
I have echoed that same stance to many many people thinking they are going to go to a legacy. All I have said in return is “well that’s great that you have your sights set on going to xyz but just remember you need to vote as if you never got that call, could you live with that contract and be happy about your choice” of course when put in that way they start to rethink the idea of what they just said.
I am not sure why the union is not putting out logical Q&As about all this stuff. Because some guys just have no clue how this works or really what they could affect by voting without thinking about the consequences. I had one guy in the cockpit that didn’t even know how to vote for the strike and I had to show him how. Some people are just clueless or choose to be clueless and that to me is so infuriating considering I didn’t come here to leave.
