Freebies to management
Not only are they watching, but they're getting free negotiating intel by getting pilots to fill out their survey!
If they get a sense of what we are satisfied with, they'll simply "take it away" and make up some bull**** excuse like "FRMS" or "FATIGUE" or "SMS" during negotiations and then give it back to us "in a modified form that satisfies FRMS FATIGUE SMS" as a sweetener at a later date to make us agree to their deal.
If they know what we are not satisfied with, they'll just pile it on during negotiations to the point that there is infighting amongst groups and the union will have to acquiesce! Think Split duties, 18-30hr layovers, consecutive late night duties etc...
Don't fill out the survey.. .NOT NOW... NOT EVER.
They can get a sense of what we want through our only unified voice.. the AOA.
