Like I said already, if he shows me proof and then history proves me wrong, I'll humbly apologize to him.
Here we go again with more of your asinine circular logic, meant to obfuscate the fact that you were wrong.
In the post we have been referring to ad-nauseum, you said "if" SKW has "dual qual" (technically common qual, but you know what I mean). SKW does in fact have "dual qual". So either you mistyped, or didn't know that.
And management has in fact asked us to match SkyWest Airlines compensation package. This has been widely disseminated, and is not confidential info. Remember, SKW, Inc uses the pie strategy in negotiations by giving the union the bottom line price, then telling the union to cut the pie however they want to. And right now, it looks like a lot of things in the current XJT contract are being cut, not that I necessarily agree with that, but if you want to keep them, we're going to have to increase the size of the pie. I'm not sure we have the unity to pull that off, and I've yet to hear or see a credible unity drive out on the line.
