Not that it would matter because management violates the present contract on a daily basis as it is, so it's tough to see the point of cooperating with those who are ethically bankrupt.
Must be those piles of stock option, bonus and profit-sharing $$$ that distract them from living up to the agreements they supposedly agree to. Pilots are silly fools.........
Wait a minute. I have been here for quite sometime, with EXTENSIVE union involvement in the past and I have NEVER heard of believing management with a "handshake" promise. NEVER. With any company I have ever worked for before it was the same. The APA/ALPA has been around longer than I was even born yet....after ALL the APA has gone through with Crandall, Arpey and Horton they STILL somehow drop their guard and think Parker and Kirby are the second coming of Christ and Saint Paul? Really?
The Company isn't going to GIVE US MORE MONEY without something in exchange, even though they JUST SAID THAT in the crew news (not that I'm naive to believe it) that they were conceding giving the pilots more money with little in return.
As far as contract violations are concerned why aren't they being enforced by being grieved????
