Our management was willing to liquidate the company to make us take cuts. So things will have to be pretty serious to make them give the cuts back. We are currently overstaffed, new hires are still coming in droves, and our training department is maxed out. I'm not really seeing what incentive they would have to renegotiate any time soon. Things could change, but people should understand how stingy, uncaring, and reactionary management is when it comes to paying their workers.

What Alpa brings to the table has to be cost neutral, so that won't be much

I think that is why the big push for captains and keeping the training pipeline full.

Unless they see major problems with the methods they are using now (RTP, cadets, HVA) or those who are here start talking with their feet, nothing is going to change.

PSA could be our friend this time. Rumor is they are close to an agreement to increase pay. Then we’d be me too’d.

All envoy wants to do right now is angle for more and more flying. Having excess staffing helps them do that. The rare case at an airline when growth is bad: when it justifies them metering the flow.
