We can do that if we as a group mandate it, but, where is the quid for them then? Being on probation solves many of the issues you describe.



1) Sunset provisions
2) Sunset allowable jets as they go away.
3) By helping pilots within your union and trade, it shows a true value of ALPA and unity in general. It shows that we as pilots in general have each others' backs. It puts words in to action, and that action kills the notion that we see pilots engaged in our trade as less than us. It sure would be an ego buster to all of us that see ourselves as better, but it is good for the profession. This unity would translate in section six rounds, and multiply as we went from contract to contract.
