The RPC will facilitate your current negotiation, if the IBT reps are interested in participating in a group effort."
Translation:We've given up already.Can't be done.We're just not going to work that hard for you,sorry.Too bad,so sad.If you want to make more money,get hired at Frontier.Ta-ta !
Frank, I hate to introduce you to something new called "reallity".
Some of the folks involved have been through this negotiation concept once or twice before.
If you think you are going to get evething you want regarding vacancies, pay, workrules, and scope you are naive.
Your vacancy language is a joke.
You have the lowest pay across the board.
You work rules are the FAR limits.
You sacrificed your entire last contract for "scope".
You are not going to fix the entire contract this time around. Pat at the NMB will let your reps know that fact next month.
No one over hear is giving up, we just know how the system works and exploit that system to all of our benefit.
