I think the smartest non-affiliated participants on APC have figured out that 85% of what happens here is simply a spillover of the ALPA forum, which was evidence of a power struggle between two factions, vaguely along the lines of NvS, with a few variations.
You guys really think that all just went away?
I admit I thought maybe DALPA had turned the corner and the MEC was in charge. Silly me.
IMO this rumor is spot on. The shadow MEC is alive and well. They crafted this leak with management and probably have the votes in the bag to pass this self funding POS. Another rush job filled with unnecessary concessions. Not the least of which will be helping management pay zero for the KLM/AF grievance.
Before the body is cold our execs will say it was cost neutral and their 2016 labor costs will increase less than 2%. The usual suspects will say management has to lie to the shareholders like this, but we really won!!
We can turn the tide like we did for CDOs, but the pilots in ATL, SLC, LAX and SEA have to make the calls. These reps hold our futures.
Tell them to honor our surveys as they promised to.
We can and must do far better than this.
