I didn't expect the NMB's pro-management agenda to become Donatelli's words to live by and our MEC's policy.
It is astounding to me that they would exhibit such glaring weakness right now and put out a communique emphasizing the wisdom of capitulation and rationalizing why they will have to accept whatever management is willing to give.
At this point in negotiations they should be pounding the table, not bending over it.
I hope this is all just a communications gaffe. If not, we're in deep trouble.
This NMB nonsense is something I've been wondering about since I first heard that Ms. Puchala was briefing our MEC, and they were buying it. WHY does SHE get to decide what is 'fair compensation' when it comes time for us to negotiate with management?
Where was SHE when Sleepy Ed was standing in front of a bankruptcy Judge, saying he was losing sleep, wondering if he hadn't taken enough from the Delta Pilots?
How much money does Delta have to make, and how much money does Management have to be paid, before SHE decides we are DUE to be REPAID for OUR INVESTMENT in Delta Air Lines?
Who died and left her in charge of deciding Airline Pilot Pay and Benefits?
