I heard over the weekend that the ALPA MEC for Alaska said "no thanks" to the company for their recent contract offer of 20% paycuts and "significant productivity increases".

I guess that means 23 more months of low wages and the status quo in all other areas. There must have been some poor contract language in several areas of the offer for it not to make it to a pilot vote.

Perhaps with that settled (or not settled if the court case is still pending) the company may actually begin hiring again. One of these days...
