The company is counting on us to be the good little boys and girls and continue to fly extra. If you really want a contract worth living with for the next 5+ years then suck it up and fly what is required. We can put pressure on them without doing something construed as illegal. These are the same people that gave us the butthurt that Kasher awarded them. Remember that!

From MEC news letter:

Talks broke down yesterday evening over compensation. Management’s current position on wages would create an increasing gap between us and our peers over the duration of the contract. This does not reflect your contribution to our Company’s history of record profits and sustained financial success.

Management is scheduled to participate in Alaska Air Group’s Board of Directors meeting for the rest of this week. There are no further meetings scheduled with their Negotiating Team.
