You told us you don't even belong to the union, and you blame EF. Join and pay your dues. Dead beat. Just sayin'

They could have countered with no pay raises but lets get a 5:15 day and better disability or just 321 as group iii and that's it. But then everyone would be *****ing about the substandard pay.

Typical pilot bull%$#@, never happy no matter what.

Whole situation is a real shame and they could have done better for us and the previous poster is right, when this is all over there will be a push for some new blood in this clown show of a union.
Ditto.

The fact is, I didn't say. But does it really matter? Many of the guys I talk to out on the line is they are voting for it. I didn't say how I would vote.

P.S. I still think the APA is a "chicken$h!t" operation.

One day you may need disability and then you'll understand how critical it is. You sound VERY myopic and short-sided in your thinking. Your impending bribe will dissolve quickly once your Obamacare premiums are factored in.

Like that's going to make a difference. You're screwed, you just refuse to understand that yet. You will.
