… in the last bid and that doesn’t mean that there won’t those that wouldn’t have done it if the location was what they wanted. As long as we keep attracting enough people of any seniority demographic to upgrade, upgrades aren’t a problem. Only crew resources really knows what that number is.

I have been in this industry 35 plus years. I have never seen a strike vote less than 98%. It’s the norm. It’s a free vote that means very little other than generating press news and a few book aways.

So if my post is fictional will you please have the union send me my full retro check! You know, that line we were going to defend to the last man!
If you also don’t believe the NMB drives things to an industry standard solution I have some great investment advice for you.

Here we go. Senior pilots are blaming the junior pilots… If only you wouldn’t upgrade…

Maybe you should downgrade if you really want to forge the issue. But someone I bet that will never happen.

To the junior pilots here, upgrade or not, it is 100% your decision and no one else. Do not let senior pilots bully you into thinking you are the problem.

Assume much?? You know what that makes you, right?

People will do what’s best for their situation. I was simply pointing out that 140 unfilled CA positions out of approx 6100 Captains is not a concern to the Company.

As for me, I could have held CA for the last several years but choose not to. Partially due to the contract, and partially because I am doing well as a WB FO.

It means that very junior CAs are flying with new-hire FOs in 737s all around North America.

You do realize getting a good contract is an “agenda.”

That's what got us in this problem to begin with. Extensions and LOA's do not fix the problem but rather kick the can down the road. After an extended period of time of not fixing the glaring issues the tasks of repairing our contract becomes insurmountable. The company will bemoan that our ask is too great and insist we accept a lesser offer. Sound familiar?

Expectation for Tuesday’s TownHall with SK? More canned c-suite answers of promised contract and ALPA blame? Probably.
