You think it’s something to admire but most on here think it’s his ego, look at me, I’m a scab that landed on my feet, look how good I’m doing, you all thought I’d never work again but here I am! Yes, every single time he posts something, that’s what I see!
That's rich coming from one of the A scale folks at Jazz. Every time I see one of that genre posting I see 'Look at me, I threw the new hires under the bus to try grab a little more cash for my self.'
Ok, here we go!
Ever heard the expression, “we don’t negotiate for pilots not on property “ without that agreement, it was made extremely clear that there would be no hiring, only shrinking. Me personally, I asked one of the VPs who was at the road show in person, face to face, quite pointedly if they weren’t worried about lowering the bar so far no one would apply, his reply was, I’m paraphrasing, we’ll know in about two weeks if the applications dry up.
Guess what, they didn’t dry up, who do you blame for that.
So, goldeneagle, I’ll ask you, what would you have done in that situation? You’ve watched your flying reduced and shifted to the lowest bidder. You threatened to strike and the pilots at the mothership allowed a loosening of scope language allowing that to happen, thanks for the support ACPA, you’re told if you sign this you can keep your job but if you don’t, well!
The threat comes from a CEO with a history of carrying through with his threats.
Now, this being said, if you’re comparing “A scale” Jazz pilots to a scab that undercut pilots for the same work, might want to consider directing that at the new hires, without them the pay would’ve come back up a long time ago.
I didn’t gain anything, there was only preservation , so if anything I’m selfish for preserving my own ass, oh no, I’m human!
Now, on that topic, all negotiating capital has gone to improving their situation since then, yes all improvements for them, guess that bit me in the ass a bit hey!
Let me be extremely clear, THE NEW HIRES ONLY HAVE THEMSELVES TO BLAME FOR ACCEPTING THE JOB.
