Management offered AE, XJT, and RAH "lousy" contracts too, but they voted no. They even threatened to shut down AE just like they did PSA; do you know how that conversation went?
Management: We want to give you these new jets and expand your (real) flow program, but you'll have to undercut the industry in other areas of your contract and shrink long-term. Oh, and we're going to shut you down if you say no.
Eagle MEC: No.
Management: Ok, we sweetened the offer a bit, but this is your last chance and we're going to shut you down if you say no.
Eagle MEC: No.
Management: Ok, fine, we'll give you one more chance if you'll let your pilots vote on it, but we're going to shut you down if you don't take it. We mean it: this is your last
last chance:
for real this time!
Eagle Pilots: Hell no.
In contrast:
Management: Hey, PSA, we want to give you these new jets and slightly expand your not-flow preferential hiring deal, but you'll have to accept this really weak language and create the regional industry's first B-scale to get them. Oh, and we'll shut you down if you don't take it.
Brownstreak: Cool.
Yes, management is our enemy, but PSA's repeat treachery means they should be regarded as allies of management. Remember: the ally of my enemy is also my enemy.
