You don’t trust them because they didn’t offer SILs, after they explicitly stated it may or may not be offered at their discretion? You don’t trust them because they have more than just the pilot group to represent? You don’t trust them because they’ve had the AUDACITY to admit to you that they can’t keep all of us flying at contractual levels in the current revenue environment? Why don’t you stop thinking diabolically for one second and realize we are just one piece in this puzzle. We either fit or we get reshuffled until we do.

Indeed. I’m pretty sure there’s not a daily “How can we screw the pilots today” management meeting. Regardless of how we got here, we’re in a dung heap as an industry.

ALPA (our reps and us) need to come to terms with the reality that there is not enough flying to go around. And at the same time come to terms with the reality that furloughs need not be the “industry standard” in a crisis. Life is not black and white and there is always a middle gray. Go into the room, lock the door, and don’t come out until there’s something worth voting on. The end.

Agreed. It’s more like, “How can we gain more efficiencies and cost savings from the pilots.” Then they business-like begin to screw you. I don’t get emotional about it but I absolutely believe they want to screw us (by our viewpoint).

Not to mention our opening proposal was a huge dollar amount, it was going to take some time to negotiate an agreement based on what ALPA has put out from our opener
