And what exactly are you proposing we “gain” in exchange for agreeing to VILs? FLICA waiting room? Not everything the union does is a good thing. It’s okay to think independently for yourself.
VIL’s aren’t keeping new hire FO’s off the street. We’re overstaffed on Captains, but that should correct itself as we take more 220’s and have less 321’s sitting for Pratt issues. I’ve been hypercritical of the union in many areas…that just isn’t one of them. And this sure as sh!t isn’t the venue to question them.
