Future candidates take notice.
The American Bar Association states:
In general, the duty of good faith and fair dealing means, for example, that parties cannot evade the spirit of the bargain, lack diligence or slack off, perform incorrectly on purpose, abuse their power when specifying the terms of a contract, or interfere with or fail to cooperate in the other party’s performance.
That being said, the decision to stay in contract with another party is very individual and time sensitive. Commanders are relieved because of loss of faith or confidence by the military institution. As a pilot group we can decide collectively or one can decide individually. I bet about 30 (Chris's numbers) people decided individually.
Pilots are as important to an airline as any other part of the company... to include management.
I realize at this point I am most likely preaching to the choir, so rant over.
Cheers!

Have your union reps communicated and represented your interests adequately? Forget the bs that they "volunteer". They recieve compensation for their time and expenses. They are bought off of trips by us, supposedly for company/union business, using our hard earned dues. They can't even be so bothered to hold a phone call or write an email giving explanation and detail of the situations we're facing and the direction the association is taking us. We've been in what might be the worst industry event in our entire careers and the MEC body is largely silent. While the chair is collecting a healthy paycheck at home, our lives are being turned upside down.
Voting is next month, don't make excuses, make your voice heard.

My issue with ALPA has always been the fact that our representatives actively refuse to communicate with us, then turn around and get salty when we don't all sing their praises for what hard work volunteering is.
