Dude, I am active not retired and 100% behind my union.

Other than the numerous times you’ve claimed to be letting us know the inside scoop on various subjects which for the past two years have been incorrect? All the while claiming that the Union was withholding information from the pilot group?

Don’t say you support my union you clearly don’t.

What were your predictions again? Oh yes. Gold, silver or bronze?

Right now it’s looking like our careers are stalled out at Turd level…

Gotcha, I just need to find/pay a senior pilot to bid summer vacation for me to circumvent the seniority system. 😉 I'm starting to get how this CBA works.

I think you and I work for two different companies… it’s a dynamic industry, the only thing consistent is change. I think things will get better, I don’t wallow in self pity!
I am successful because I don’t wait for someone to change my life. I grab the bull by the horns and do it myself!

So, the company restricts all flexibility, has control issues, so we work together to take back our quality of life🤔…. Kinda sounds like what a union and friends do, and you have a problem with this?

How long to hold ANC? How much lower 48 flying do ANC pilots do outside of the west coast? Any Hawaii flying?

It's hard to say how long to hold a base since we haven't hired in 1.5 years, so things have been stagnant. With the forecast hiring though, I would think it should be easy to get Anchorage either from class or on the first bid after that. ANC pilots do lower 48 flying, although they also have lines that stay in Alaska, and they do Hawaii flying as well.

It’s great you’re successful. No one said you weren’t.

You are here disrespecting and discrediting our Union by saying they are withholding information from us.

Your predictions about the fleet have also frankly been awful. There are 15% less mainline airplanes than there were in 2019.

So Gold, silver, lead whatever. All incorrect.

It’s very telling that you admit that the company restricts flexibility, has control issues, and that we as pilots have to work together “to take back” our quality of life that our peers in the industry just enjoy without all of the headache and nonsense we have to go through here.

Once again you are the exact type of person the company loves and part of the reason this garbage contract has survived and prospered for so long. You are a shining example of why this company has faced zero pushback about sub par contracts and why we are where we are today..

That is a strawman argument… uhm no. I have voted no both times given the chance to vote on a contract. Then after being given that turd, I learn to skillfully take advantage of it. Whatever angles I can find, I wring out the best quality of life possible.Really, somehow in your world, that makes me the problem 🤔really?

Please do tell what I am and was supposed to do?
