All I can say is if another company steps in with our current contracts we are all unemployed and we know it. There is no protection in our contracts, none, its a paper dream. It's just hogwash to believe the company saying we are protected if we were to be bought out.
No A/B fund, poor health coverage, low wages compared to the industry. Lets go and get this done together and start protecting our jobs. We know its a great company to work for but we have work to do and have little time to waste. Good Luck!
Anyone who thinks that a Union equals job protection needs to look around and see what is going on in the rest of the industry.
Plenty of Union members on the street. We got a pay raise and furlough protection with a new contract negotiated by us, the Pilots, not some third party union thug.
