Why would we go to the presidential emergency board for voting down a TA 6 months prior to the amendable date?
It's like someone said on chit chat, I'll vote no and keep collecting on the PS checks every February.
Stretch that thought out, if we continue to operate as status quo after a rejected TA then they're going to be paying PS to everyone in full, FOs will still be bidding LCA, DCI will still be restricted in range and hub-to-hub and no additional jumbo RJs, they will probably still be out of compliance on the international JV, the E190s and 739s will be parked (stop laughing but that's what the TA says), MD will not be able to approve a new foreign Delta Air Lines, and we'll still operate under the old sick leave program.
I don't think MD is right about the PEB being the next step in any way shape or form.
I also think it's interesting he says "and that's what you'll be faced with!" I'm sorry, but why isn't "that's what we'll be faced with!"?
