One can only imagine the gamesmanship that is involved....But,
Are pilots prepared to vote no this time under the same environment of subtle threats from say...the chief pilot?
Are pilots prepared to vote no even when various other entities supposedly have offered to make Project Sunrise fly?
I have my personal opinions, and I’ll reiterate what I’ve said before that negotiation is not personal. Pilots must be prepared to fight for the conditions they deserve. It is a game in many ways...with serious consequences. Individual pilots need to lift their industrial game to help AIPA achieve what is deserved. Unfortunately, history suggests as individuals, pilots are industrially dumb, blinded by everyday selfishness that is too hard to hide away. 787 minus 10% only emphasises this reality. Pilots should be ashamed that we have enabled such an offer...and equally outraged that the company feels tenacious enough to approach with such a starting point.
