EXACTLY my thought. The company isn't giving us this out of the goodness of their hearts. The LOA gives them more savings and more flexibility than whatever they can do otherwise. What this means for us is less required staffing/longer upgrades. Also, if we vote this in, it sends a very strong message to the company that we are willing to vote in almost anything come contract time, as long as there are sufficient scare tactics employed i.e. commuters having to come to their domicile for GS and pay for hotels if they vote no. I hope our pilot group isn't really this spineless! Come on people!
I don't know if no or yes will send any message at all, as you well know the Barbie toughbook is coming.
About voting anything IN that our union presents, I don't believe that's true either, we talk of our company's scare tactics but we also spread a good amount of BS ourselves.
Hiring and upgrades will continue as long as we keep getting ACs..the difference between pre/after DL amount of upgrades and hiring it's probably very small.
Btw, I voted no, for my own personal reasons.
