The company management isn't going to give you more money or qol bumps out of goodness of their hearts. They feel you're fairly compensated for the work you do and see you picking the slack and volunteering for trips, cleaning to get the planes turned on time etc. and see that the majority of your pilot group does as well.

Once they start feeling the pinch of staffing and retention issues they'll be more motivated to give you a better contract. Bottom line is its all about the profit and giving you more reduces theirs. Don't expect them to do it willingly... It has to be in their mutual interest.

Are any pilots still cleaning planes? No blue gloves here.

It's a company spread rumor to keep the natives restless. If you don't have a problem with it, I question you and your intentions.
My source was not management, it was an ALPA guy (pretty well known) who has been here a long time and impressed me with his level of understanding of the airline and the business. But who knows, maybe he was blowing smoke and in fact is a bed-wetting moron. Maybe he is a pathological liar. I guess we'll see.

More importantly, you're on an internet message board. Lighten the hell up.

Your over infatuation with specifics and details of where information comes from is pretty ridiculous. No one owes you f.uck-all when it comes to telling you the source of the information.

You don't run this message board, and certainly aren't owed answers to your anal questions. No matter how much you pout and act like a 8 year old when you don't get them.

Grow up, dude. I'm done responding to you. I already have 4 pre-teens I have to deal with at home on a daily basis. I don't need to deal with another.
You're wasting your time explaining yourself to him. He's obviously incapable of understanding. Sad. I'm embarrassed for him

Good to hear- I grew tired of watching CAs/FOs pushing customers out of the way to pick up an empty bag of Blue chips stuffed into the seat pockets while wearing janitors gloves.

Max...you don't own, nor does he deserve any detailed explanation of where you got your information from. Most people understand information comes from varying degrees of reliable sources. Don't sweat it.
