Nevets, if you think that the selection of a PBS vendor is a "small bone" to be thrown around like a parting gift, then you need to solicit input from PBS-using pilots at several different airlines and listen real good! I'll tell you to be very wary of any globalized or optimized solution. Just as important, make sure that you have crystal clear language regarding parameters, premium pay, pairing construction, and transparency in any accompanying contract language.
I dont disagree. But in comparison to the laundry list of concessions that management wants from the ERJ side, a process (which has been previously agreed to by both MEC) to choose a single PBS is just a bone.

Fifty seat jets are outdated. What's your point? And why is our contract outdated? Because it's the best in the industry? Do you guys even listen to what you say? Or are you management? Because you are saying EXACTLY the same things!

This is absurd! As long as management is paying for two sets of management personnel, two sets of office staff, two sets of facilities for SOC, two sets of systems management, two sets of EVERYTHING, there will always be money on the table! Why should we sacrifice money out of our compensation so that management can spend it on two VPs of everything?! And for what? So that they can perpetuate this whipsaw?
You guys are talking crazy.
