Also, earlier you were complaining about our "stupid" new aircraft contract language because it requires arbitration if the parties do not agree. I told you that it was boiler plate language and now you post your boiler plate new aircraft contract language that requires arbitration if the parties do not agree.
So does your current CBA have this language sport?
>>5. The arbitrator’s decision will be based upon relevant factors
within the part of the U.S. airline industry comprised of
carriers, the majority of whose aircraft fleet (present and
future firm orders) and operation is substantially similar to the
Company’s and who meet all of the following criteria:
a. Are not currently operating under the protection of the
bankruptcy laws; and
b. Have a collective bargaining agreement with a labor
organization certified by the National Mediation Board
(NMB) covering its pilots; and
No it doesn't. That is beside the point tony was arguing. In both cases, it is boiler plate language. The difference being the DOS of each contract.
