Arrow Move on

Considering what the company initially offered and the fact we could not stop them from (unilaterally) bring the 767 on the property (on less favorable terms ) I think the union got us a big win on this LOA. Could it have been better? .Absolutely. Did the company gain some efficiencies for the common type and fleet? Yes they do, and it may of had some part in deciding to buy this jet. Do we have a B scale? Well compared to UPS, with the same hourly rates for all AC, yes you could make that argument. What we need to do is get on with section 6 negotiations, get our WB pay ahead of UPS (with presumably the NB behind) and the B scale argument goes away. Of course we have no control over what UPS will get on their next contract, so its a moot argument. Considering how few (as a percentage of fleet) we have of NB's, we should devote our attention to more pressing needs, like 4A2B, retirement caps, and of course the threat of PBS.
