A new contract won't come by itself, the company have been pushing it and they'll continue to push it as long as there are not consecuences.
Mesa is the best example on how a company can't treat their people like shiat and expect no consecuences on the long run. Mesa used to a big profitable regional operator and look at them now. Pinnacle thinks that they can treat their people like shiat and we always be efficient and profitable. We really need to start working on something here. A pin saying we are united........well, the company is going to laugh really hard on that one.
As I suggested before, how about starting with going tieless. No more ties, the whole pilot group. Or maybe custom made ties that say STRIKE NOW ! with big letters all across. How about a big arse sticker (the size of a flight kit) that says I AM "FATIGUED" OF THIS COMPANY, (or something that get's attention) I don't know if it's lame or not, I don't care, I just want to do something.
No one's telling you to sit on your hands but its shows complete ignorance and immaturity to posting job actions on a website. Let's say you do the job action. This info will be used in court against the pilot group and the mediator will punish you hard for it. Try recessing negotiations for at least six months until you come back to play nice. If you do a work action, spread the word verbally. Don't EVER leave tracks. That's just stupid and you will LOSE! Plus, you punish other pilot groups because this creates a president that can be used by other managements against their boys.
