Recapturing a certain amount of productivity (i.e. required work) of pilots displaced by IOE would allow for either less hiring and/or more flying with current pilot corps.
One man's concession is another's negotiation.
If your a negotiator and the deal is ready to go with current work rules and then the company says, recapture IOE displaced flying for an additional 2% across the board, what would you want your negotiator to do?
Say NO thank you? Say yes? Then the problem is how do you explain to the group that you had an immediate 10% raise negotiated but it was bumped to 12% based on IOE recovery flying?
What price is your "concession" worth?
I love this story.
Sell us your thoughts on including the AF/KLM grievance into C2015! How much do we get for that? I'm going to go buy a yacht.
The sad fact is these concessions are all self funding.
If Delta makes $500 trillion dollars a day do we still have to make concessions? Or whatever your calling them to make it hurt less.
