Sad. Very sad. And we wonder why we can’t get an industry leading contract when OUR OWN LINE PILOTS can’t even follow a simple union request to build unity and leverage.
To those who floated.... I don’t know how you can look yourselves in the mirror when your FELLOW UNION MEMBERS are sacrificing LOTS OF $$$ to promote unity and leverage... while you suck it all up at our expense.
Disgusting and shameful. NO excuses.

I recently flew with a no floater and he had some pretty good points. I won't judge either way.

Your union asked you NOT TO FLOAT.
There is no gray area here. Either you’re a unionist. Or you’re a self serving individualist.
There is no excuse to float when your union has asked you not to, in the interest of creating leverage... especially during Section 6.
The principle in not crossing a picket line is pretty much the same.

So your excuse to float is based on the fact that others don’t follow the directives? Great union ethics dude.
