I'm just playing Devil's Advocate here, but if things need addressing and you feel strongly about something than we have to do more than just vent to each other or on some internet forum. Take for instance the lines in your base... if you think they are not efficient or commutable etc. etc. be a part of the scheduling committee and try and make a difference.

I'm really done with the union conference calls. Every week I listen hoping it will be productive and contain useful info. However, every week it turns into Richard lecturing the pilot group about something, and shifting all the blame away from union leadership. Today it was "pilots don't know the contract and that's the problem." The reality is that we do know the contract but when we call nothing is done about it. For example, the contract says proper staffing. In today's call Richard said prepare for junior manning and extension because we're under staffed but no information about how their planning on enforcing this section. I could give more examples but the point is these calls have turned into "why it's the pilots fault and not the union leadership's" and that is unacceptable. It's time for a change.

I've also made the request to be on the scheduling committee, at least as a representative for my base but no word from the Union.
If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself.
