Is the Union not allowed to disagree with something the company says? They can call it pay and state whatever they want.
I'll bet the first ever contract to be voted down at Delta will be C2015 if we don't beat AA rates AND keep profit sharing. (Along with no CDO's,)
You would bet wrong. Whatever TA is sent out for a vote will pass. The 2012 TA was nowhere near what anyone was expecting. It passed easily. ALPA will release a TA nowhere near our expectations, tell us it was the best they could get, sell it to us as the best the could get, and then remind us of the time value of money and how we are gambling if we vote no. It will then pass easily. I've seen this before. Every contract negotiation is the same. You are naive if you don't think there will be concessions in sick leave, profit sharing, and jv scope. I keep saying this, but it seems our guys are still hoping this time is different. I have news for you. It is never different, even when the company is making 4.5 billion.
