Props to the MEC. I was part of it for a while, and thankfully, I got out to a company that appreciates their employees. You won’t find a harder working group than those that are in the MEC. They do have a pulse on things, and are as fed up with the shenanigans as the pilot group is.

GTFO.

IAH CA seniority

Great, you can get a CA spot in IAH in 'X' years.

Kinda dumb argument.

You aren't holding a line at even 12 years. Close to 13 if I had to guess.

Same for 175 ER7 CA. 13 years probably at least.

I think the most junior line holding captain company-wide is right around 13.5 years. There may be a little relief line stuff in there but for the most part, EWR is over 13 to hold a line.

YHGTBSM, right? Please explain how exactly new hires will help with all those QOL issues . . . I mean, any informed candidate should know by now that circumstances have changed quite a bit since the previous abusive time period for regional airline pilots

Guess he decided to "DoSomeMoreDeskStuf".

Oh well.

He's probably a paid union buster for F & H. Yes they do exist. An old but still relevant video here:

Nice video. So if solidarity is the only real weapon a union has, how is a new hire starting indoc on Monday supposed to feel about the union after seeing the campaign telling them how they should not come here? Has the union not already told them to pick a side before even joining the company? If management is successful in dragging out negotiations and simultaneously is able to continue to bring in 10-15 new hires per week the Union influence grows weaker with each new class.

If you watch this video you will quickly realize that this union is busting itself.

And that is my issue. I don’t have a problem with the pursuit of a new contract. I have a problem with the extremely ignorant, desperate and divisive methods we have resorted to.

But carry on, you will see soon enough how this all plays out.
