We ARE acting. We have ground the company down, effectively cornered them, utilising CC and the TB. We can continue with that until we get presented something that addresses the serious shortcomings of our contract. The company can threaten to 'shrink' the airline, move training to other companies etc, etc. So what. There has never been a successful airline that has 'shrunk' it's way to prosperity and market dominance. Further, to push training to other carriers would ultimately lead to the pilots involved probably finding they enjoy working elsewhere anyway. And the ability for the company to do that is limited, and is fraught with risk. All we want is fair housing (not a 'cost of living adjustment') for ALL the aircrew, stable work rules and a RP package that has RULES that both sides have to abide by. Without that, there IS NO CAREER HERE. The sooner we all realise this the better. The only way forward is to keep the pressure on. If they want to bring out a bigger bat...well, eventually the balls they hit with it go 'out of the ballpark'. The airline will lay in ruin eventually with that mentality. They are trying to intimidate and threaten their way to getting our votes. Not going to work. Send it back and insist on a proper package. The answer is NO.
