Valid point RE: pilot reps. I am sure they mean well but they cannot play hard ball because of the dynamics. Perhaps they are largely ineffective under the current setup, and it is that which needs to be improved.
Our union negotiator should do all the talking at the table - why is it that pilots who are not professional negotiators talking in the presence of management?
Perhaps if our union negotiator did the talking and the reps observed on our behalf to ensure our interests are being adressed, and to report back to the pilot group we may get a better result?
