Bottom line they need to call the company - hopefully in large numbers - and make noise (or cancel, or book away) for those things to move the needle. I figure that's the answer least likely to get me fired while achieving that goal.
while I agree with this I dont want the company to be able to put their spin on it.
I just say we havent had a raise in 3 yrs and they are not anywhere close to offering us another one so we may have to strike to get what we're worth.

IMO Zap has the perfect response. We are not allowed to speak on behalf of the company. If someone asks you never know what camera is pointed on you. Next thing you know you are an internet sensation. I would say legally stick with a Zap answer.

“99% of pilots voted to authorize a strike. Contact the company with your concerns about the possible impact on your travel plans.”

CM said the same thing in November regarding the holidays.

The company can not staff the flights they have. The VP of crew sked has repeatedly said he does not want to give any relief the pilots picking up open time . IMO he has been and will be the problem for the next melt down. CPs and SWAPA have advised him that giving a pilot JA/ reroute protection would open the door to more pilots picking up .

I cannot tell you how many times I have heard that a CP advised a pilot to just not pick up .

yeah they moved 510 pilots up to June for training. Putting that many more uncovered trips into open time.
I did a look at my base and in June 1 alone there are over 30 trips in open time already.

How early do you find out if you’ve been moved up?

I was moved up from August to May (?!) and they notified me in early April.
