It's too early to go on the offensive. I trust Insler for the most part. His results in the grievance process have probably been the best in the history of the industry. I am not exaggerating when I say that. Kudos to him and his staff.
However, Oscar remains disconnected intentionally. 30% of the value of the stock is in labor stability. If we want things to start happening we have to affect what we can affect. So, I agree with you on turning up the heat.
My biggest concern is how the company wastes money. If we want profit sharing we won't get it because of how the company wastes the very cash we save them by operating efficiently, PBS, tight staffing, single engine taxi, etc. That's money from the pilots!
I think it's bad advice (and I hear it allot) call your rep if you want to know what's going on. I disagree. Don't bother your rep. They got enough to do. Plus, you can call 5 different reps and get 5 different opinions and spins on the same subject. Better is to have a weekly negotiating newsletter from the NC and signed by Insler as a defacto member.
FUPM!
