strike
I know it seems strange that a pilot group would even consider striking at a time like this when there are a lot of pilots out on the street, but if I were still there, I'd vote to strike too (in fact, I was planning on it). It shows just how fed up the pilots are. I worked there for 3 years and only had a contract for 1 of those years. It might as well have been ripped up and thrown away anyways. They only used it to their advantage.
It is just pitiful that the F.O.'s qualify for food stamps. A base salary of $13,000!! I really hope that changes for the better.
In my opinion, I don't think Great Lakes will ever go out of business though. Somehow that place always manages to survive. I've heard a lot of guys call it the "cockroach airline" just because it never goes away! If it does come down to a strike, Voss will find some way to keep it alive.
If you can afford it, go ahead and go there, but get on to another regional asap!
