If this is the case what does the Capitol cargo union say about this?
Yes that is correct. Look at the pay scales.
I am sure the union says what unions always say, 'we will look into it, it is not struck work........ the company promised us that if we do this they will .... pay more later, get new planes, hire more pilots! (take your pick)'
Nothing against the Cappy pilots, we are all just suckers and our own worst enemies!
I can't believe we all just fall for the same standard plays out of the Lorenzo mgt handbook. Spin the company off, cut pay, divide the pilot group, entice other pilots with promise of great things to come.... repeat at new company, collect giant mgt retention bonus.
Scope clause, union v union, RJs, mainline, B-scale, snapbacks, bankruptcy, union rules relaxed to faa mins, spin-offs, code share, foreign ownership...... all strategies in the Management Playbook. Think about it!!
Sorry to vent and no harm meant to any pilot.....
(sorry for the spelling, I was on a roll!)
