In my opinion, the reasons are:
1. ACPA leadership has given away the farm and sold out everyone south of a widebody or rouge captain seat. They are fckng us and our future while smiling and aggressively selling a management agenda.
2. The apathy and disinterest in the group is astonishing... a lack of critical thinking, meager vote turnouts, selfishness without thought is driving member decisions.
3. The one time we did stand up together and kicked these a-holes to the curb; Harper, Raitt, Rovinescu, the 27, et al conspired and fcked us... now it's the same pricks running it again. Unbelievable... and we are paying them to do it! Short memories.
This job, this profession has been hit hard the past 5 years. Very hard. I hope every prospective new hire following this thread knows AC is still a good job, but it was better. And they want to take more from us and are always actively trying - that's managements job though... it's what they do... the problem is our own union leadership is advancing their own prospects by enabling it. Get here with your eyes open and don't sit on the curb and allow it just because you are new... These guys running ACPA right now are the ones that gave away your pension and stuck you with 4 year flat pay. Keep that in mind when you listen to them sell you on what they want to give away next.
Again, only my opinions/observations.
