But the company has clearly stated they aren't interested in an agreement. They have sent out their agreement and they have specifically stated that if we do not accept it they will not buy any new planes, not hire new pilots and not recall furloughed pilots.
Whether you believe they are going to do it or not is irrelevant. You have stated he union is a thug embarrassing the company and Wb. Then what is the company by stating if we do not accept these concessions we will be forced to?
I've asked many questions and the best you've come up with is don't worry mon be happy. It will get done eventually. You don't answer questions on how it will get done. You state that demand will get our contract because the industry is running out of pilots but you have no backup plan. You can't state when the industry will run out of pilots and therefor since the two are tied together when we will get a new contract.
So again I ask you. Why is the company allowed to make very clear threats against our profession. Erode our contact. Demand concessions from us or else. Demand a roi that the company has never been able to achieve in a million years or else.
But the union is thugs and we shouldn't get riled up. This is the early stage.? It's been almost 2 years. Explain to us your background in contract negotiations and why you believe it's the early stage? Explain to us why you are the authority on why we shouldn't get riled up because it will work itself out.
Sorry you're a fence sitter. You don't want to rock the boat. You don't want to be mean. The union is a bunch of meanies. Yet you offer no experience or history in the subject matter.
Yeah I'll just go ahead and "don't worry mon, it'll be alright."
Enjoy the fence. That boys and girls is how you get used to taking it up the ass.
You are just trying to rile everybody up, using your usual elegant language to do so. Negotiations ALWAYS start far apart and move closer as time goes on. Taking individual hardline statements by the company and attempting to inflame the members is a cynical attempt to fire us all up, when we should be engaging, through the union unfortunately, to gradually hammer out a good deal for both sides. Without all the inflammatory BS. You tend to confirm the worst thoughts I have always had about unions, unfortunately, you and the other hooligans.
