can you see his argument at a mainline MEC meeting?
us airways pilot: i make less than a delta pilot, i failed personally
delta pilot: we might take a paycut, cause we failed somewhere along the way. 30k a year is ok with to fly a 777.
i mean c'mon seriously. i am glad that a majority of people don't think like this, but its the cancer that defends republic/mesa/colgan and poverty wages that management loves.
Only an airline pilot could find fault in taking a little personal responsibility as opposed to blaming everyone else but himself. Your complete lack of understanding on what I was trying to say surprises and saddens me. And that argument is EXACTLY what I wish had taken place at a mainline MEC. Maybe then you guys wouldn't have given away the keys to this industry long, long ago.
I'm a Union Rep, I do my thing, and I'm going to get what's mine. And I'm not going to apologize to any of you while I do it. I mean, everyone keeps saying how we need to "raise the bar" and "hold the line" so you guys should be excited about that. If I get what I demand from this contract then you'll all be saved right?! But you all want to sit around and argue about a 7.5 year old contract signed when the biggest airplane on property was 50 seats and the airline was 25% the size it is now. Have at it.
