Union regionals violate the contract all the time, and the "law" never gets involved. You are generally NOT allowed to refuse an assignment in violation of the contract, but you can grieve it after the fact. The grievance process will take many months and if you win you'll typically get one hour of pay as penalty to the company. So naturally the company doesn't care one whit if they have to pay you an hour next April if that's the cost of forcing you to cover flying today. So "those of us" doesn't mean everyone agrees with you. In my experience, Skywest violates the policy manual more often. The difference is nothing can even be done at Skywest even if we wanted, whereas with a union, legal action is an option (even if the option isn't regularly exercised). |

We don't need a union here. The others aren't any better off and the argument could be made that they have it worse.

How could it possibly be worse to have a legally binding contract and actual real lawyers in your side?
I'd actually be willing to pay 2% to find out...my heartburn is people pushing it like it's some miracle cure, the regional system is rigged and alpa is in on it. |
Historical credit alone makes up the difference.
