You tell me: Why is the union helping to spread obviously bogus info - originating from management - about great things coming? If great things were actually coming we would've been in Section 6 negotiations months ago.You don't have to get all personal. I sincerely have no clue why the union is doing this and would love to hear a good answer.
If the pentagon says " the enemy recruited more troops and built more bombers" That's not helping the enemy. That's simply reporting what is going on (or at least what the enemy SAYS is going on).
When Atlas makes an announcement and the union repeats it to the pilot group, (again, I'm not sure exactly to what you are referring) It is generally to point out that the claims will be difficult to support or are untrue. If the company announces a new hire class of 18 or 24, the union will make a welcoming announcement for the 3 or 4 or 12 that actually showed up for class (and haven't yet resigned).
If the company announces more planes, the union will point out that they will be unable to staff those planes.
Without a specific reference to what you are troubled by, it's impossible to examine your claim.
If somehow you think that our union is enabling the company in some way by repeating the lies and falsehoods published by Atlas management, you're not paying attention to the whole message.
As to why we're not in Section 6 negotiations, read up on the past 3 years events regarding the lawsuits and the actions of our negotiating committee. Not going to hold your hand and walk you through the history one line at a time. If you've actually made it to the front seat of an Atlas jet, you have the resources to find out all by yourself.
