Trappings of Reason

[BillytheKid]

• Management needs the pilots to ignore the redundancy clause because they know it would cost them more than it would save them given 6 months pay and training costs. Management is doing this by getting us to focus on UPL. I do not believe redundancy is a viable option; therefore, UPL is a fantastic alternative from a manager's point of view.
• Management is taking the opportunity to get us to agree to a concessionary COS citing the revenue "collapse." In reality, revenue has declined. During SARS, revenue collapsed. There is quite a large difference.
• Tell em on Friday so that they spend their emotions on the weekend and come back on Monday to yield to your desires.
• The attempt at "sharing the pain" is not accurate when you consider some pilots getting huge increases in pay and quality of life while others are taking pay cuts. This appears to be a disingenuous attempt to unify the pilot ranks when it actually is another divide and conquer method.
