Sometimes leadership is delivering information that nobody wants to hear. The current populist party can’t stomach that, thus the crickets.
If you’re in the bottom half of the seniority list, you should be making preparations. Even more so in the blast zone of the bottom 3k. Nobody likes it but at least 44 is giving it to you straight, unlike this MEC admin that is composed of pretenders that can’t get a meeting with mgmt.
Will the furlough fodder notice that they were left un-represented by the populists? Will they vote for different candidates in the future? Who knows. I do know that you can’t spend 5 years poking your finger in the company’s eye and then suddenly expect them to take us as serious bargaining partners.
Executive inactive anyone? Plastic silverware? Chest thumping, feel good BS so they can feign tough and say they were fighting for you.
The last MEC town hall showcased an out of touch “chairman” (Ryan Schnitzel) who spent his time talking about shelf stable food, and a Negotiating Chairman (Chad Smith) who was unaware that pilots had positive space commuting options made available by the company, without his committee’s participation. He could/would have claimed it as a win had he only been aware. Amateur hour.
We have been rendered irrelevant by a bunch of soft, short term thinkers. They are still pretending that the Schnitzel furloughs aren’t happening rather than engaging on mitigation for our junior pilots. But yeah, 44 reps = surrender monkeys. Cool.

That said, 44 said nothing wrong. Just the brutal truth of the moment.

Delta is going to run their plan with or without us. If we’re not at the table (we’re not) then we are not influencing the outcome in favor of the pilot group.

I wonder how/if the C Series delivery timeline and the 21/22 fleet plan will be affected by this fire:

I'm not going to miss 2020.

I'm in the mid 10000 and I don't think it will reach us, yet. 10730 is the number of pilots they have to have to make the operation work. So if you look at the first 10730 in the list about 1000 of them won't be assigned a plane or seat. Medical leaves, mil leaves, instructors etc. So 11730 will probably be where the last seat is assigned. My guess.
BS said the UNA assignments will be between 12000-12100
