The union did not furlough me....you are correct. But they were complicit.
They allowed massive outsourcing of my job, and the jobs of many others, to be bid on by the lowest bidder. In almost every case, the lost job was regained by another UNION pilot at a third of the price. No union in the world values seniority and experience with such a casual nature, nor would they allow it at all as it is the foundation of what a union is about. Without that foundation, the union cannot hold the line on wages and benefits and that is what has hamstrung ALPA and nearly evey other union that has represented pilots.
You never replied about the fact that half the JB group was somewhere else and watched the slow decimation of our contracts. Is it any wonder that most of us shy away from it again?
