8driver,

As a NY based pilot, I've got an enormous amount to lose by not signing. There is no doubt flying into ANC and staying on board is easy, but guess what, I'm not signing. This is about solidarity and being part of a push to unite us in the eyes of the company. My GC speaks for me and I've been advised not to sign. If your union MEC said you are going on strike, you go on strike or you scab. Easy choice.


Finally, if you sign every single person will know when you are PXing on the freighter. I know you think it is nice and comfy in the bunk but guess what, that is CA's discretion. I know for a FACT that almost every CA I've flown with and talked to in the last week has adamantly stated that if they have someone on board who signs, NO BUNK.

Best of luck to all. All we are doing is enforcing our contract. The company has every right to PT us all to death. If they choose to fix that, the AOA is ready to discuss.
