The harsh reality is we are being run by an investment group not a company that is trying to make our shareholders profits. They are happily doing everything to keep us so far behind it’s pathetic. Just look at how our mediation has gone and the cancellation of the picket. Same old story different day.
If you’re too old to leave I get it. If you’re not and you’re staying, well I wish you all the best. Genuinely hope that this group can get exactly where or damn near close to everyone else because being at the bottom hurts everyone else trying to find the ceiling.
It’s always tough to ask for a 10% raise and many other asks when the company is not profitable. To compare contracts to your boss with companies that are profitable. If you were the boss, how would you react? NK puffed their chest and took 2 contracts with big asks. Now they sit looking for a dance partner or a CJO elsewhere. Essentially priced themselves out of a job. Of course, there are always other factors in the failure of an airline but if F9 buys NK, it will be worse.
