Increased number of 76 seaters
60-65 medical benefits to encourage retirements
nothing stated regarding hiring
discuss...(already a huge no vote from me on scope alone)
Yawn, I would say trial balloon being discussed to gauge reaction. That would get about a 80% no vote.
Hope you responded in kind.
Real simple, Section 1 fixed, work rules bettered, and we all want pay, but it matters little if the scope or work rules are diluted.
Also, ooh more WB jet promises during negotiations.
On that, a definite No from Mr ACL.
