Mike,
I am curious what that "negotiating position" is since we are not in negotiations? Can you help me understand what you know? Or how you know the ship is misguided? What is your frame of reference? What other airlines have you worked for? Have you actually done any negotiations or even read a book on negotiations? Have you done any union work anywhere that you would know how the negotiations ebb-and-flow goes?
I have looked at that link you put there and see no real thoughts or ideas on how to steer the misguided ship. Can you help us all understand what the new guys are going to do other than publish their pay statements?
It would also be interesting to know what they have done in the past. Eastern? Union or Unfortunate date of hire? Pan-Am (or Carnival?). Wasn't one of the guys under some sort of indictment with the company or the union?
Without any real data or a link to a web-site that has solutions to the real problems your post is moot. In fact you sound like a sour grapes military guy with no experience and and no solutions.
What gives? That was not anything I ever learned in the military.
