They even all banded together, drew up some sort of plan to present to the company, narrow body pilots please stand aside...you pieces of trash came to mind etc....There has been a new division that had unfortunately been created between certain groups of people in some workplaces.
And that is a perfect example of when unions are “bad” for pilots. Unions serve a purpose, to a point. After that we start screwing each other over for more benefits.
It’s also an argument for fleet pay and the downsides of seniority systems!
