The TA cost us jobs in some areas and those numbers are well quoted however it also generated jobs in other work rule areas that offset most of the loss. To claim the TA is why we have lost jobs since the merger is a bit stupid.
I have to admit, I wasn't aware of the context in which he was speaking. I assumed his statements were in regards to the recent joint venture discussion--- so disregard what I said.
And I might add, that I was the first person to point out that we were in fact shrinking as a pilot group when our managers and many on here claimed we were in an expansion mode... before the TA was signed.
