Note: This is not intended as any opinion of the TA as it pertains to the rest of the UCal group. You guys do what you think is best for you. This was solely aimed at the jackass that spent weeks interjecting his opinion into my group. I wish the rest of you luck.
This TA won't pass.
Our contract talks are overseen by what's called a "federal mediator". You need to educate yourself on the process. They DID put DAL's contract on the table and told us we were unreasonable to not accept the new "industry standard" that 60% of your brethren accepted so stupidly.
Delta has always led the charge in outsourced flying. Now they give DC-9 size aircraft to express and proudly proclaim how that HELPS the fight for scope!
I guess you couldn't say "well, we wanted a raise so bad we gave up jobs again."
You will see managements plan in the long run. For a couple years you will think the protections on block hours mean something, but those will be quickly retracted once management offers you a 3% raise next time.
