We have leverage lets use it and get min calendar day. There is no reason that in this profitable environment we should be working more days than Delta and United pilots for less money.
Look a little beyond that. The APA gang of 10 (the crowd who wanted to send the first version of Parkers ultimatum to the pilots for vote) acknowledges in their attack against the gang of 12 that their move resulted in Parker balking when value was still on the table. So, in other words Parker could give more, has it, but out of spite, simply spit in our face for insulting him with a fair offer that he disliked. He blew another loogie in our faces when ALL the reps came together held out an olive branch to secure MCD.
Is this the guy you want to reward for this behavior ?
Is this the guy you expect to be any different in 2020 ?
I repeatedly hear how stupid APA (and AA pilots) was for trusting Parker to do this or that, yet now we ALL will capitulate to him to guilty of exactly that error, apparently having turned our backs on the past. We ALL now are AA pilots who will inherit the permanent title of "enablers" for Parker's tyranny.
This is our last opportunity to change the reality of this history.
Absolutely mind-boggling if we screw this up now.
