The 1000 reserve start time is as impressive as the squeege my dog made in the yard this morning.

On their own timelines & in their own way, 15,000 people care a little less; so they do a little less. It takes time, but the longer it goes on, the worse it gets.

Up until TUMI 1, this company was selling a lot of pilots on doing extras. It was catching on. That was a narrow window of opportunity where a great contract would have made them rockstars. Imagine if we had gotten DAL’s contract before DAL did. Guys would have been over the moon. The whole “taking pride in the brand” movement would have exploded overnight.

The irony is, today, that same contract would move the needle far less. By the summer, maybe not at all. The longer they drag this on, they’ll just end up spending the same money for a rapidly diminishing reward. Whether they believe it or not, they are losing to the clock.

ALPA really needs to phrase that differently. In a way they need to make sure people understand that it isn’t changing but positioning it as an “accomplishment” is asinine.

That just proves most of the United pilot group are total suckers. Management would have been “rockstars”?? Are you ****ing kidding me!! Sadly you’re probably correct, but you are the weakest unionized work group in the industry. You boys are way to proud to know your worth. It’s just embarrassing.

Nobody is parading around at Delta with managements offer. We were owed that contract. I truly have no hope for your sorry pilot group. You’ll match our rates, they’ll throw you a few QoL scraps that won’t hurt their bottom line, and that will be that.

The end.
