Reality ck those against the JCBA are aware that the worst that can happen is the MOU - they are not embracing it just weighing the costs of the gives.
It is however, disingenuous of Parker to decry the JCBA is not section 6 but then demand the number of gets that are in excess of most section six outcomes.
I think they are rushing through as many items as they think they can get in hopes that dollar signs will blind pilots to what they will give up.
That said, Kirby was touting scope relief was a sure thing because the money that was to be offered. The company reach is excessive, it opens too many doors to further LOA's and grabs. The best course is to get them to drop the number of gets to something manageable. They dropped scope, now get relief on the other gives or drop them too. Leave the rates but whittle down the most onerous terms.
