The latest ad is embarassing. And silly, in my opinion. Apparently, these problems will go away if we are paid more. What a laugh.
Our quest for an improved CBA is unrelated to how the EMT is destroying our brand. Some examples of their ineptness. Airlining us from one city to another on day six to show a jet crewed for a couple hours. After a late check out that resulted in a full day's rate. Zero productivity involved, but hey, the jet is crewed. Up to three ferry legs to get a pilot home so they don't have to pay him an after midnight. Taking a couple dozen line pilots off line to be temp ACPs while we never needed them before, not to mention our shortage of crews. Violating federal law in accessing a private Union web sit and admitting it in their feeble attempt to have the lawsuit dismissed. Need I go on?
With the seemingly unlimited funds to do the above, among many other wasteful practices, they can damn well pay us a lot more. In fact if they got smart in how they run the business they could double our salaries and feel zero impact to our bottom line.

You're never needed until you're needed.
Like you, I don't get the temp ACP thing
Does your CBA not mention that you must be realaistically scheduled to arrive home on last day? It can certainly be cheaper to pay the aftermidnight then ferry you home a few hours....but that wouldn't honor the CBA.
Wasteful spending? It's the cost of doing business. If there's an open tail that you can get to, 98/100 times you'll go to it...day 1, or day 6. Crew at the hotel with a tail in mx is of zero use to covering trips when there are other uncrewed tails. Plain and simple.

If I was in charge, it would have been done a long time ago. I'd have exercised the three year extension option and started work on a new agreement during that three year period.
Have you guys ever given any thought to challenging the basic premise that all air carrier operations have to be covered under the RLA? The original intent of the RLA was to prevent strikes in essential transportation industries like railroads or airlines, but I think everyone would be hard pressed to argue that NetJets is essential to public transportation in the US.
Whether we are covered under the RLA or the rules of Marcus of Queensbury, it doesn't matter; you just need to sit down and get it done before the place disintegrates!
