Seems the LAX reps are jumping on the company side and castigating the BOD for daring to make a proposal.. and yes, after the APA floats arbitration again as punishment the LAX reps will look brilliant for being soft on the company and hard on their fellow pilots. "We told you not to over-reach against DUI and Glass. See, now the offer is worse and we better take the deal now. Hurry, hurry, hurry.. we are here to save us all."
Folks, this is exactly how we ended up with LOA 93. The subversives caused panic throughout the membership and caused a rebellion. Management just walked in and pulled the gold teeth out of the carcass.
They've been whimpering for weeks. Should Parker simply counter with minor sweeteners from his wants, it will make it more difficult for the Board to reject and get this past Christmas into the weekend. I still don't see where APA's latest counter is a TIOLI demand. I suppose it's possible but why would Parker delay an extra day if he's just going to Proffer arbitration ?
They'll look like idiots if more value is extracted. It's all noise, right ?
