Wasn't ASA getting the first 900s, anyone? anyone? The email has already come out with management basically saying no growth at ASA or XJT unless concessions. I'm sorry, I mean "cost competitiveness". Plus, the threat of aircraft exiting the CPAs starting this fall. Deja vu all over again I guess.
The email that came out to XJT was a plea for unity to get labor contracts done so the company can know its costs going forward to bid contracts. I can't speak for the other labor groups, but for XJT pilots, the contract is basically done except for PBS bidding system. Management hasnt been asking for concessions, they have been on the sidelines for months watching the MECs cat fight over Flightline vs SmartPref
