And for those of you that don't like the additional 76 seaters, you had better read our current contract, because when those 717 DO show up and the fleet goes above 767.. and it will... those 70s can be converted to 76s.. management wins either way. SO control the number.. or don't.. it's up to you.
I prefer to control the number, and get a nice pay raise to boot, TO each his own I guess....
I'm a new guy and finally decided to get a pen and paper and do the math. I think a lot of people have not read section 1 of the current contract(or can't put their heads around the math) and are just using emotional outcry of no more jobs lost. Reading the NNP on scope illustrated beautifully why this TA is reigning in scope. Besides, take the money and run now and before you know it we're back at the negotiating table for more!!!!
