I was hopeful for a strike, but its painfully clear that will absolutely never ever happen. It is basically our only leverage yet they will never have the balls to actually try and do it. Its amazing.

There are a ton of things that can (and hopefully will) get better around here. You don't need to make it sound worse than it is for some personal grumpy crusade. What do you get out of bad mouthing the company? Management isn't going to read your posts and suddenly go "Hey! That Ecam is one smart cookie! We should immediately buy 200 aircraft and hire 1,000 more pilots."

The reality is that, with few exceptions for commuters, working here is worlds better than working at any regional and in most cases any other ULCC and for a few of us even the legacies/big cargo. Can we make it better? YES! Hopefully MUCH better, but QOL here can't be beaten. The interview team and everyone I spoke to before coming here all said this is not a commuter friendly job.

This pilot group was 100% ready to walk when a Federal Circuit Judge enjoined us 7 hours before the strike was to commence. Balls had nothing to do with it.
