Culpae poena par esto = Let the punishment fit the crime!
CitationAir management's latest evil tactic was to announce a pilot schedule change from a 7&7 schedule to an 8&6. This amounts to another 26 workdays a year -- with no pay increase. I sincerely hope the CA pilots take this as a wakeup call, and do whatever is necessary show management the error of their ways. These clowns should pay dearly for this stupid blunder.
Below is the text from the latest Monday Brief:
