My apologies for that whole post it was out of line and out of character for me.
The part about the staple however is 100% correct. Its a lousy rotten deal made to look like a measure of good faith.
If LCAL is hiring LUAL should be too there is NO REASON TO SHRINK one side and grow the other. This is absolutely a power play by our beloved co-worker. We could so easily be shifting flying around to spread the load evenly. Instead one side is critically short of plots and the other side is overstaffed!?!
GIVE ME A BREAK!!
JCBA/ISL is the answer. Will it ever happen?
Hoss, things on the LCAL side over the past decade or so haven't been good, but what you guys have been through at LUAL is the absolute pits. I get that. However, I believe this stems back to three things: aircraft the CAL side had on order, the higher productivity (read lower total cost) of the CAL contract, and perhaps most importantly, the scope protections in the respective contracts. Believe it or not, I really do sympathize with you, but as you know, this probably won't end until there's a JCBA.
