Hostile23. Agreed, but to take it further.
If the Committee Members were to actually become more aggressive, CX will still tell them to get stuffed. The AOA would say “work to rule” or “contract compliance” or whatever. At that point everyone will run for cover not wanting to be the next 49er.
You see, it’s not the Union; it’s the pilots that make up the union.
The Committee members know this and negotiate accordingly.
Our conditions will continue to deteriorate (look at the current Re-threads working for less that B-Scale) until we are all down to the Air China conditions.
Very few will ever vote with their feet. It’s the devil you know sort of stuff.
Good luck with it all and Happy Flying.
