When ALPA national came down and put our MEC in one room and yours in another, they asked the ASA guys if they were willing to lose RFPs and possible growth oportunities if it meant standing their ground on flightline, their answer was YES. ALPA national reported back to the company saying there was nothing more to talk about, both sides stopped talking, the company requested we open up section 26 for new pay rates for larger aircraft. That IS what happened. What have I missed? What "record" needs to be "set straight"?
What you have missed is the company has said openly that they don't care what PBS system is used. The company does not object to Flightline and they never have, but they do object to vacation low which is a work rule along with a few other minor issues.
You consistently speak for the ASA MEC using rhetoric that I don't hear from them. I speak to my reps and an ASA MEC member regularly and they do not vomit disharmony or vitriol the way you like to portray them.
Since you are open to ANY OTHER PBS SYSTEM, why not adopt L-CAL's?
