In this case the issue is important, but largely ignore by many pilots and the timing is horrible with all of the merger integration work ahead of us...
Sometimes a failed recall can send a message, but again this is a poor time to undertake such a strategy.
My thoughts exactly. Although, I don't think a recall would work with SCOPE, because many more senior pilots just don't believe it effects them, I do believe it would send a message. Hopefully, it won't come to this.
The other thing is that we really never know anything that happens in our union until after the fact. We have so little input. So maybe the only input we get is a recall.....
