Members far more harmed….not furloughed pilots far more harmed. AC let go 15%, AT let go almost 90% of all their pilots (at one point).
We were down to 55 hrs...55 hrs!! I mean flat pay pilot at 55 hrs...what does that even equate to? Starbucks barista starting wage??
Counterpoint,
What did the ACPA Staff do during our "darkest hour"? Did they take an equivalent pay cut? Were they "flying the line" around the globe during a pandemic or cuddling up under a blanket at their cottage?
What about the 15% who mostly STILL aren't back? Do you at least sign them up for the "Jelly Bean of the month" club?
Now Flight Ops posts a memo stating they are at "full capacity" with the "most extensive training year that Flight ops has ever experienced" and that it is CRITICAL pilots are available to cover flying because of some boogeyman airlines entering the market. (There always has to be some external threat)
So - again I ask, what has ACPA done?
You think the company would have actually laid off MORE pilots? How on earth would that have been possible. They can't even meet the demand of the training plan with the "mitigated layoffs". They are buying MORE planes.
It is pretty obvious we just handed over pilot salaries.
Again I ask - what did the ACPA staff do?
They recommended temporary and PERMENANT pay concessions while what pay cuts did they take themselves?
Do you see insanity of this "union"? They couldn't cost out a kindergartener hot lunch program let alone the training costs of an airline
I am awaiting for the union "we are disappointed that furloughs cant come back soon but please take overtime to cover the flying as the training system is too busy to train them" memo.
Standing by
We await for your defense of the Dumpster Fire
