The whole "paying your dues" phrase is bull**** because its really a relative thing. Someone that has gone through multiple furloughs and divorce might have a different perspective then the guy that was at Skywest for 5 years then went to Southwest and been on reserve for a total of 5 months...
If you can exactly quantify "paying your dues" I might buy into the phrase, otherwise it ****es me off.
It really boils down to choices and consequences, not "deserve," not "justice" and not "dues."

If AmericanEagleFO is a typical American Eagle pilot, your union is screwed Mason.

My understanding is that the only line our union draws is in the interest of their cushy positions and cozy relationship with management. The group that's been in power the last 8 years or so is no better then the one before it.
Enjoy your open time. When leaders lead then you may follow, until then it appears every pilot for himself.

That's just it.... the union CAN'T do that. Your a college educated person right? How about investing just a little time to find out about the laws governing your profession.
They can send out emails, and reminders about flying safe, not pushing yourself too hard, not risking being fatigued and things such as that, but they CAN NOT put out something that would directly be viewed as a job action.
What they can say, the have... it is up to you to read between the lines. However, since you refuse to do the right thing, until the union does the wrong/illegal thing by telling you too... I guess the rest of your coworkers shouldn't expect much from you.
and you are correct, I do not work there. That doesn't mean I never worked for, or don't still work for AMR, but I am not on Eagles payroll.
