if you took a poll at ASA, Mesa, Comair, et al about how their QOL and pay has gone over the last 6 years, what do you think they'd say? do you know that you make as much or more than pilots at those companies with the same seniority? your future looks brighter as well, should you chose to stay here. also, though some complaints are certainly valid, I'd venture that you are treated better here talking everything in total compared to them. Doesn't what has happened there and at others give you any pause at all? Before you shout back about what here should give me pause, know that some things do. But I have to be realistic and compare our overall package to what others have.
I like it here and realize that while we have our problems, in the end our deal is better.
Substitute FEDEX and ExpressJet for your picks. Ask the same questions.
Ask CAL and FEDEX why they came back to ALPA.
I like it here and realize that while we have our problems, in the end our deal could be better. I choose not to have my future dictated to me. I want a voice at the table. I want that voice paid for, and beholden to me. ALPA, while far from perfect, is the only viable, effective choice that I can see.
