Until we say no to Parker's POS offer he has no reason to ever improve on his POS offer (and he has every reason to keep lying that he will never improve on his POS offer).
Got it? So simple...
I told you before, if we all got together, we could get a lot more. It hasn't happened here since the PI/US merger and now we have east, west, LAA, TWA, formerly furloughed, 3rd list, flow through...did I miss any? All with different interests and agendas.
Did you happen to catch the post on C&R from the LAA guy that didn't want the A321 in group III because it could potentially help LUS? Yeah, one big brotherhood we've got here.
Not taking that into consideration and just saying the same old thing over and over again is just stupid.
The APA could have structured this differently. I personally would have preferred to have less money but get the calendar day and LTD fixed. Those are my more important items, but I don't pretend to know what they are for the rest of the 10,000+ pilots. I just feel very, very confident that, with the contract structure, we can't get it all.
Don't worry about me though, I'm voting NO. This thing will pass and I want to join you in the "Don't blame me, I voted NO!" camp.
