When you come into my domicile, put my company's name on your aircraft, and do my job for 50-60% less than me, you don't think we have a right to be p****d
Sure you can't refuse to do the flying without being disiplined but you
but you CAN stand up for a contract that doesn't encourage management a**holes to pull this crap in the first place. How could you people sign a contract with a 3-20 year scale of $37/hr and no rigs on equipment that replaces 737/DC-9s ???? Did you honestly think that 9 month upgrades were going to continue?
Are we the only one that's replaced mainline? All other regional route was once flown by mainline guys. We are in contract negotiation. Are you going to leave your job becasue you dont like what the company has to offer compare to other company in terms of contract? You might have better contract than the others in some ways but that could change in next month.I dont know what your background is but the route that once you've flown was flown by mainline guys. Yea, you did fly for them in 50-60% cheaper.
