It will always suck a little bit, but management is doing a historically bad job at simply running the daily operations and that makes it harder and not better than ever before. They simply refuse to solve crew food issues. They overload dispatch into making many more mistakes than ever before. They overload every department to near failure almost every day. Watch training as it totally implodes, even with the now lowered hiring numbers they announced recently (I'm not talking about experience levels, just the amount of pilots they plan on hiring). The mismanagement is actually probably going to help us get an improved contract offer since they need the pilots to fix their mistakes more and more every day.

I will admit that it will always be an on-demand job and will never have major airline QOL, but there is room for some reasonable inprovements through punative OT when they schedule poorly. If it is expensive enough, they will improve the scheduling to do something about it. That said, anyone that wants majors QOL needs to go to the majors.

There won't be an agreement until PL and his henchmen are gone. He will lose the election. I'm calling it now. Then they'll have a deal within days. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong. My understanding is that is a pretty fair assessment across the non MB blowies.

I have been surveyed by the Union more often in the last 6 months than the last 16 years.... I don't know who you spend time with, but everyone I know has reported the same. I'm pretty confident Union leadership has a strong understanding of the pilot's will and are acting in lock-step with the pilot group's directives.

​​​​​Why would myself or anyone else be foolish enough to replace a Union leadership that for once seems to actually give a damn about what the pilots want?
