Perhaps the question you should ask 167 is "What would be leverage?" Was San Juan Leverage, The FO pay Raises? An MCO training center? New Bases in LGA or LAX? Day turns? Our Parings that move from 10am to red eye? Lack of new pilots?

What can be used as leverage?... Anything. Any small or large inconvenience to the company. That is what 167 doesn't seem to get. By writing off just about everything that would be an inconvenience to the company that leaves us stuck between illegal work actions and doing nothing.

This is Union in fighting. Each LEC can only write memos to their own base(s). What ever they say if well though out will make sense and the other side gets no chance to respond or possibly even see the memo. It's like having a trial with a prosecution attorney and no defense attorney. That needs to change especially now With a coming open MEC slot we need open debate. so all the right people get into place. And if they don't they get bounced with a quickness.

I am in agreement that we need Unity. Which comes from Union participation. Which comes from regular meetings in every base. If the entirety of the pilot group is involved we could make this airline a great place to work. At this point it will require a full court press.
