But to answer the question it blows. part of the problem is that most of the pilots are consessionary. if managment asks for more money from them they will actually have a vote and would give up more. they are afraid and it will never change. They have a lame thing going on now called Fix it Now (FIN) road shows and meet and greets by aLPA to show what the dues are going towards. Basically aLPA is afraid of another union coming on the property and they have to show they are doing something.
You will never see and underground or grass roots effort by the pilots to take action to fix it now. We all know it can be done in a matter of 2 to 3 days with UNIONISM. But with all the pilots accepting junior/senior manning its a screwed up deal. Its like trying to get peace in the middle east.
your best bet.....get a G5 or Global type and start earning tomorrow what it will take a career to make at uNITED.
or go for UPS/FEDEX etc. companies that are in business to sell their product instead of trying to cheapen it and merge it.
good luck
We have the same going on here. Pilots on furlough and guys picking up extra flying. A guy on the jump seat the other day was bragging about having flown 95 hrs. They're the same ones that say, "oh, they don't really make more than us, because we can fly more hours than they can". Complete f*$@!ng idiots.Originally Posted by FrontSeat
Well, if you never want to be home and be treated like a slave then its good. Oh did I mention that many corporate pilots make more then their captains. I am on bypass from them now and make as much as a 747 captain and I only fly 2 pax around all the time.
