If they want to come back to us for say, more planes, then we could negotiate a little more aggressively. They mentioned the fact that staffing could become an issue in the near future and that we could get some improvements to the deal later on to help attract pilots.
Our NC is putting their money where their mouth is on this one as they are right in that "pay cap" area and will immediately feel the effects of this TA.
I think it makes sense.
That is the funniest thing I have ever heard. Our MEC is weak. They are in way over their heads. Saying they are unqualified is an understatement. We are screwed for at least 10 years thanks to them and their "negotiating". Nothing will come good of this TA. It is a giant leap backwards. To think this TA positions us for improvements is jeuvenile. Hell we didn't lose the battle, we lost the war. Thanks ALPA.
