Continued pattern bargaining is what is going to happen and that you can bank on 88. How do you expect a radical change to our PWA when it's mostly industry leading already?
Of course it isn't easy. If it were, why would we pay dues to a union? But like any leading performer, in any line of work, it starts with asking. Are we at least planning to do that? Or is DALPA just going to phone this one in too, paying for tiny raises with more onerous give aways and concessions? Then turn to the membership and say "Well guys, this is the best we could do, you'd better take it or face destruction and mayhem."
I agree it's going to be a challenge. I think we're up for one.
