I don't know if the company can successfully add 500 pilots in 18 months. Without a contract, I think it'll be a real struggle

They haven’t tried a $25,000 signing bonus yet. That’ll happen before a new contract.

I am pretty sure ALPA would stop that as it is definitely not status quo.

You have a lot more faith in ALPA than many right now

Just out of curiosity, what do you think ALPA could do about it?

This is not a knock against our ALPA reps, but I don't have a lot of faith that they could stop a Signing Bonus Program.

Just look at all the ALPA Regional Carriers that currently have sign on bonuses. I'm sure ALPA would much rather convert those signing bonuses to contractual hourly compensation instead of something that can be rescinded unilaterally.

January 2019, I'm outta here if we don't get released or a new contract. Using my vacation in December (if not cancelled) and then leaving. I don't know why anyone would come here with this beyond hostile management. I mean, the only airline in a f##king bankruptcy contract??? In the best if times?? When we have a Letter of Agreement that they haven't followed and a judge agreed?? It's borderline criminal.

Perhaps a mobile meth lab? We could generate some cash to be distributed to the pilot group during the strike.

In all seriousness, I don’t think we will have a contract by then and if you are going to another airline you’re giving up valuable seniority by waiting. If the hope of a contract is the only thing keeping you here you should leave ASAP. That’s for everyone, not just you.

I’ve got my stuff out. I’m only here because no one else that I’ve applied to is offering a job.

I don't blame you, but maybe its time for a new username?
