MEC meeting tomorrow
Hey all.
Please contact your reps and let them know how you feel about the current administration. Our MEC has been lacking on many things for as long as I’ve been here. Scheduling. Pay. Contract abuse. Etc.
The old guard has Served their purpose and it’s time for new blood This is no longer a 300 pilot airline with outstation bases. We need people that are removed from that mindset to take the helm and steer us in a new direction
Call your reps. Let them know how you feel. Even if you like the current admin. They still need to know

Sure, increased flow would be great... but PBS (with appropriate language) is almost an immediate increase in QOL. Barring any concessions to take PBS, of course.

Shouldn't be a problem staffing the place, since they are, by choice, only hiring to replace attrition now!

But in return we get
- to share the salaries and bonuses they would have spent on hiring and retaining pilots to adequately staff the airline with the current schedules
- the QoL gains we would all have gained due to hiring pushing up our relatively seniority
- the increase in flow rate that would have resulted from hiring to properly staff the current schedules
PBS can be mutually beneficial, for sure, but we can't let the company understate how much they'd get out of it. We deserve comparable gains, the above is just the start.
