Blue skies is at least TELLING us they are going to take a new approach and focus on results that pilots actually care about based on survey data, etc.
who really knows.
Let’s be honest this election isn’t about the contract and there is only one possible way that it produces a quicker outcome at the table…the winning slate excepts less! “New approach” can only be code for that. The current NC famously said they were gonna go tip over tables and produce results and here we are with little to show 2 years later. Time and consistency is the only thing on our side at the moment on that front.
We really need to be more concerned with who is on the slates and how they will manage this union. You have former company management that can’t even form a sentence without using ChatGPT, and who has questionable alliances. You have a candidate for president that lied under oath and is probably solely responsible for us being in trusteeship and not having a contract. The other candidate had some serious legal accusations made against him by his wife, and doesn’t really have any qualifications other than being willing to be GU’s stooge.
Both are poison pills, only way out of this is to realize we aren’t truck drivers and need a real union.
