CVG thanks for the update.
Here is my biggest problem with what you posted:
-Cost of this contract is $420 million. This was vehemently challenged by several in the group, citing the Detroit rep's widely known assertion that this is a cost-neutral contract. Tim stated that the cost-neutral statement was mostly for Wall St., and that a cost neutral claim would have to include the added revenue from both the CRJ900s and the 717s. There would be no other way to get to that number.
-The last thing on the table was more seats on the RJs (Tim said 80 seats; did he mean 82?). The company offered to give all of the projected revenue to us in the form of pay.
First there is no way to know or believe that the company would pass on the savings from outsourcing to the us.
Second, I am fundamentally opposed to supplementing my income off the back of other pilots by supporting a whipsaw system with multiple carriers (including other ALPA carriers) fighting for our scraps. I'm actually a little surprised TO admitted publicly that this is what we are doing.
