First of all, I think his pay should be based on the aircraft he is qualified to fly, second it should be no more than 100 hours a month.

Frankly, for the **** poor communication, leadership and direction, I think he should get no pay and sent back to the line. We need a leader that is strong enough to tell us what we CAN do, not what we CAN'T do.

Our pilots are suffering. We've been used and abused by management for too long. Everyone is sick of being junior manned and extended on their days off. Tired of having these immature sick policies. Sick of working 15-16 hour days. Sick of having a reduced rest overnight of 8:00 hours scheduled in advance. Sick of not having our buddy passes honored per the CBA. Sick and tired of flying 95 hour lines with only 10 days off that are not commutable.

Years ago we were given propaganda from the union. It was books on how these bad to the bone union leaders were so strong and powerful, that some got thrown in jail! Not asking for any laws to be broken. But it's a complete opposite of what we have here, where he plays mr nice guy and cancels our picketing event. Makes you wonder does he even want a contract? Or would he rather get paid 120 hours a month at 900 payrates, and never even have to fly.

If he's not going to take charge and HAVE A PLAN to help make this job/profession as a whole better..... Then step aside.
