You must be an FO.

This summer they have a very angry pilot group but no operational issues at their two biggest domiciles. Expect more of the same.


The experience during last summer is what made the TWU decide to start collecting cards again, which lead to a very fast card signing campaign and subsequent call for election. Last summer cost them the FA group.

Not answering your phone on a day off is a far cry from a concerted effort by a pilot group to not pick up open time. We’re very short staffed on the CA side. I get multiple calls a week some weeks to help out despite being on the Do Not Call list.

Our company doesn’t understand that average 85 hour bid divisors equals higher sick calls and fatigue calls. #clownshow.

Unfortunately, this is not true if historical data doesn't show that same pattern of pilots not willing to cover open time.

$88 million net profit in the weakest quarter of the year. No CBA. They have NO intention of a CBA in 2018.

And why would they. The aircraft will still depart and arrive, albeit late. RSA/VDA's will continue to be picked up. We are our own worst enemy. Very frustrating.
