Pattern bargaining
BTW; doesn't ALPA rules require specific metrics from a company before entering into concessionary negotiations? Pretty sure being profitable is a disqualifying criteria.
Who at ALPA national was advising your negotiating committee?
Something is very much wrong if ALPA allowed concessionary negotiations
In the first place. The problem lies beyond simple management greed.
ALPA is not doing their job.
Don't act all high and mighty. AE brought up B scale. Your pilots would be as split as much as PSAs are. Your MEC voted it down but two said yes. Your pilot's I guarantee would be like any other and it'd be a close vote had it gone to vote.... Stop pretending Eagle did anything great. A few MEC officers did, not the pilot group or your NC or MEC Chairman did.
Our pilot group tells the LEC what to vote. At least I talked with my LEC (ORD) and even that I told them "vote no for any BScale", they disregarded what the majority said.
The ball is in the PSA court. Will PSA play ball or chicken out?
I think it will pass, sad but true.
