If I have to take a pay cut in order to get an overall-better EBA over the line, so be it.
- But I hope my principles are strong enough never to ask someone else (already much lower paid) to take a pay cut just so I can get a better deal.
If Eastern pilots have to remove PIP from FO's wages to get a better EBA, so be it.
- But in that eventuality, I hope FO's vote away their own PIP, not just the PIP of the lowest-paid FO's who cannot yet vote by virtue of not yet being employees.
Regardless of Eastern/Sunstate dirty laundry, the idea of sacrificing future employees for the sake of current employees is contrary to the philosophy of unionism. If you're going to vote for it, at least understand you're voting against the principles that give you a Pilots' Council.
