I!!!!
That is my take.
Management was running about a few weeks ago talking about a deal in May. You might get a deal in May, but it is not likely to be anything more than Delta plus a dollar with No scope, more RJ's, and more Aer Lingus.
The new co-pilots assigned to the CPO's are running around managaging expectations telling pilots to want and expect less for the "good of the company."
If you know any of these "new kids on the block" you might want to educate them to shut up and color and leave the negotiating to the union and the pilot group to affect. I don't take it lightly that the CPO is USING this new cheap labor pool to go out and cut our legs out from under us.
Using these FO's is brilliant in my opinion. It gives management quasi-plausible denyability and it widens the circle of friends in the pfrends of pfred club.
