Training hold

It’s not a few hundred. It’s 25% of the workforce and the union. If the faa was doing this it’s one thing but it’s the people that our supposed to represent our interest that seems to be pushing it.
I’d prefer the union take the safety route by reducing the potential for myself and other BUEs from being exposed to unnecessary risk and potentially dying.

It’s possible that different parts of the union want different things. And I don’t fault people that feel this way. But one fairly large group is getting no information on what the plan is after 4 months.
 
Why is there always someone out there thinking that just because they feel strongly about their opinion that it MUST be shared amongst their peers? It's the same 2-3 trainees on here constantly saying that ALL trainees are just clamoring to get back to work. Not this guy!!! Loving my free vacation. Worst part is if this was 2021 and covid hit, those same people complaining would be CPC's arguing the other side.

That's the thing with a labor union. We collective bargain and negotiate for what's best for the biggest portion of the group. I'm pretty shit at math but I'm pretty sure the health and safety of the 75 percent (and their families) is larger than the 25 percent not training and just worried about pay.

I say that as a member of that 25 percent. Ya I'd like my other half of my raise I was expecting to alresdy have. But the long term health and safety of my family takes priority.

Plus ya, this schedule is dope.
 
Does it suck a little I'm not training and moving towards certification? Yea of course. Is it awesome I get to spend every day with my kid and get paid my full salary? Way more awesome than missing out on training for a little.

I can tell you every single essential trainee that's currently working at my facility I've talked to about this isn't complaining much. There may be a few, but they are in the minority.

It’s a big enough number that they should at least acknowledge their frustrations.

we want trainees that want to train. No no no that’s not what we meant.

This comment makes me so mad. Mad because I didn’t think of it. I’m going to put on my best sundress, my most fancy lipstick, and take you out for a *nice* steak dinner. (Don’t tell my wife)

I was told by my rep 7/15. And they also said “don’t be surprised if it gets pushed back”.
 
Do I wanna be cpc. Sure. Do I want to sit at home and get paid. Even more sure. It’s literally like the dream of any human to legit sit at home not have to do anything and have money rolling in the bank. Like I understand all the concerns over pay raises etc but in the long run. Those things will seem so small later on. I guess I feel even more lucky because I do have kids and I get to spend time with them. Remember, money is money. It comes and goes. To me, time is absolutely princeless and if I get TIME and MONEY at the same time...I’m not making a peep to try to change that.
 
There’s also the fear of being furloughed. Which no one has really don’t anything to explain why you shouldn’t be worried about. I know it’s far fetched. But it certainly enters your mind.

with every passing day - it becomes less and less far fetched.
Also, I hope you’re prepared to get blasted for using the F word on here.
