"All I say is that we at Envoy would help PDT if there's a merger if you guys hold the line." Please quantify exactly what "help" we might anticipate?
There was a LOA proposal that was posted in EL sometime in the beginning of the year. It was a draft for a merger between Envoy and PDT. It had flow thru agreements and other things in it.
Like I said, how much damage would do a 355 people in a merge? Not that much, so for me it would be irrelevant. I rather have PDT guys joining us after a vote no, than bringing subpar wages and higher health care into the JBAC table.
Remember that concessions you give it won't come back, specially in a merger situation.
But that's just my point of view. I understand the "we will close you" sentiment and the fear of losing a job. Last decade it was possible and we saw it. Now this is a different decade, there's not a surplus of pilots going into the regionals.
It's your time to stand like you guys did before, now with the biggest regionals by your side. It's the only way to stop corporate greed.
Again, it's your guys decisions.
