It still doesnt stop me from contacting those who worl for me and telling them my opinion. At least it's a data point and if enough of us have the same opinion then thats the will of the union regardless of how dumb we are.
Yup! The association was slamming pilots that questioned them. Typical in SWApULL land.

Same. He might as well have switched to the dark side 10 years ago. Or maybe he did. Not unprecedented behavior here.

I am fairly sure he sniffs his own smug and is convinced he’s the smartest man in the room or he’s autistic and has no idea how poorly he comes off to people. In either case, it’s a bad look for a supposedly irreplaceable committee chair. I want him gone but the BOD disagrees apparently.

Had a mechanic working an issue the other day and we got talking about rumors. He said he hears the same ones we do—getting widebodies etc. He said one thing that is interesting is that the company is making him go to composites training.

Anyone know if it’s standard for us to send mechs to composites school?

Fake news. This Kompany will simply rivet aluminum patches onto the holes in the 787 created by rampers and provo trucks.

The only new plane we will be getting is the MAX7. If that doesn’t come the company is going to simply sell off all assets and call it quits. That’s what I heard.

If the company wants the 787s then they better not keep undermining our pilot group
