Affecting change
 

Want to really get attention and affect some change. Every pilot with more than a year senority and less than seven, should walk in to their CP's office the day before their Oct. bid closes, and turn in their two weeks notice. Anything less than that would be weatherable. Think about it. You left on good terms and are therefore eligible for rehire. You leave a job fully qualified to fill the IMMEDIATE industry wide vacancies (change of domicile possible!), and worst case scenario is you have to replace a $40k a year job. Best case.... mainline starts moving some of that money they are saving from all those expensive guys retiring, and pays retention and improves existing contracts for everyone....

Just a thought.

Who's your dealer?? Must sell some good stuff... :)

....sssssssssssoooooo you gonna be paying mah bills in the meantime there good sir?

No. But how long do you think it would be before everyone that wanted work was (at least) back in new hire ground school.. and NEW new hire pay/signing bonuses covered any money lost between the last OLD company paychecks and the first NEW company paycheck?

Is this a business management class experiment? Make the employees think they are doing a great thing all while reducing costs by having everyone back on first year pay?

No one should come back if first year pay isn't improved by side letters and MOU's. What if first year pay looked like year 8 pay does today?

Here is a noble idea; how about we don't vote any subpar, concessionary contacts in! That will affect change. Stand our ground, stop the whipsaw we and only we control this.

From the ALPA website : " As the world’s largest pilots’ union, ALPA has advanced the piloting profession since 1931. "

Its been tried.

Really? What did PSA do?, what does PDT have the chance to do? Start thinking realistically.

This is circular.. not entertaining it anymore
