Not saying that we aren't always careful, but you may just find yourself on the street following a missed radio call with the current state of the FAA and Comair.
I nearly puked today when I saw nearly 40 airplanes parked in CVG today with pink stickers in the windows(not sure what the stickers mean.) Now giving priority hiring at Mesaba to our furloughs? This place is coming apart at the seems.
"Don't let go Jack!"
So why does the union think that bailing on the ASAP program is good for pilots or in our bet interest? If the company does not honor the agreement, then let's get dirty with the company, not the pilots. Our union is great a some things and terrible at others. One of the things that I always admired about the union was the safety committee. Now, even though the committee is still alive and well, one of our (the pilots) greatest safety resources is gone. Is it gone forever? First the no confidence vote for DS and now this! What's next?
