your only hope of a 'proper' career depends on you convincing/coercing the company to provide you with proper pay, benefits and working conditions
If only it were that easy. How am i supposed to do that when 'my' AOA tells me that RA65 won't make a lick of difference to command times? How am I supposed to do that when I show the union a list of a half dozen airlines who's change to RA65 has increased command times proportionally and they laugh it off as irrelevant?
Ahh, because the AOA isn't my union, it's yours.
Maybe the company could offer the local package DEC RA65 to anyone with a rating and experience so they wouldn't need to pay A scale above 55 and throw in Command basing slots too for the same package. Then you'd be on the receiving end just like us............
