You think SPA ALPA can literally send an email out saying "We Are ALL FOOKED, LEAVE, LEAVE NOW." Anyone with eyes partially opened would have known for a while that this isnt trending in the right direction and tough decisions will need to be explored. The only false narrative I have seen is from some on this forum and some guys on the line who act like this will all end well.
Im sorry youre in your position, I hated having to give up double digit years of seniority when I left, but I dont blame the union. I should have left 2 years earlier but that's hindsight and nobody's "fault" but mine. But when I read the 77 Vice Chairs fairway email and it basically said "this place is minor leagues and will never get better," that got me thinking. When the 77 CA, the ORD rep, a NC member and other MEC pilots left, that was the club over the head.
Yeah, once the 77 Vice left, then the 77 Chair left, then the 77 new Vice left, then the 109 Vice left, and the 109 Chair left, and the 18 Vice Left, and the 18 Chair left, and the 98 Chair left, and the 98 Vice left, and the newest Negotiator left, and the former MEC Vice left, I should have taken ALL of these departures as my cue to get serious about leaving as well. These guys were all under NDAs is my understanding. But still, they could have been less cryptic and more forward about why they actually left. It’s my understanding that the new MEC ViceChair and the new MEC Secretary have apps out as well. Does anyone know if our MEC Chair is also leaving? Are any of our reps staying?? God this is so depressing. Like being in Berlin and watching all your generals leave for South America in the spring of 1945.
