He partly blamed Pedro for the situation - PSA and Piedmont have been telling AA that they have issues, Pedro has been saying "everything's a-okay, we are doing great".

Let's see how you guys spin this. None of these are my words or opinions.
Thanks for the info.

Don’t act like we spin your words just for the sake of doing it. So you were at these meetings?

I’m actually beginning to wonder if the union doesn’t know WTF to do.

So you want the union to go running back to them and offer things to give up in order to get it done? The company needs this to get done more than we need it. They’re the ones who are going to see their staffing levels take a dive. It shouldn’t be up to ALPA to offer to give anything up that was agreed to. It’s not your fault or mine that Envoy screwed the pooch.

In fact, a very substantial group of pilots would be even more ****ed off if the union gave things up.

You're absolutely right; it's not your fault or mine that Envoy screwed the pooch. And yet, we are the ones that have to pay the price for it with basically the lowest pay in the industry and awful work rules.

WRONG!!! Unless what DERA is saying is in fact false, and Pedro HASNT been saying "everything's a-okay, we are doing great".

I hope you aren’t expecting the company/AAG to cave on the AIP because of staffing. What prevents the company from giving a 45k bonus to all new hires???
