The company will do what it wants. They have shown that. Generation after generation. AIPA will convey their concerns. In both the JC and Network situation it would probably be better for Mainline Pilots to start thinking about ‘what actions are you going to take?’
I’m not talking industrial action. But there are numerous options to back up AIPA’s concerns. Especially in the current environment. For example, perhaps stop checking open time first thing in the morning and get your name out of the book.
The loss of trust is the company’s fault. It is their problem. It’s time for a proactive approach whilst respecting our profession and the passengers. The ivory tower are our common enemy and they don’t deserve trust in this instance. So what are you going to do? The members are AIPA after all. There is nothing wrong with belligerence in the face of a smiling assasin.
