If you are a Section 9 or Section 11 pilot.......................and really unhappy with the TA's section 11.......
Ask yourself these 2 questions.
1. Other than simply paying dues, what have I done to support the Union and the Negoitiating committee to achieve a Leading contract. (i.e have you enjoyed your days off)
2. Why is my calender blocked??? (refer to question #1)
Oh and by the way........How many folks do you think will actually quit the training Dept under this TA'd section??
My guess zero..............especially the ones who have their calenders blocked?
