The issues here are two-fold. First, AWAC and PSA were part of the US Express Pilot Group, which was supposed to be working together to keep Airways from whipsawing the groups against each other. The PSA reps to this committee stated they were not entertaining anything concessionary. Then behind every other members' backs, they agreed to their current contract, which outside of the guaranteed interview with AA, is concessionary as per our MEC's analysis. So there is a feeling of betrayal. Secondly, if we apply your contract to our flying and schedules, we end up with a pay loss. What isn't concessionary about that?
