The Company knows now that they're dealing with a different type of pilot group and a stronger Union. Most of the S/Os hired in recent years have previous airline and/or command experience and aren't intimidated by management scare tactics and aren't starry-eyed at working for a new carrier. They've seen it before.
You are only worth as much as you negotiate. Just remember that.
I also heard that the meeting overflowed out of the AOA office and into CX City auditorium. Union meetings on Company grounds. I love it.
Heard CX brought in three managers to try to talk one-on-one with the "few S/O's" they thought would show up and try to and intimidate them a little. Guess you upstaged them.
Heard also the Union officials present had to put an end to the meeting before it got too "ugly."
Nicely done boys.
Solidarity.
