Of course he does.
*$*@ Alpa's assessment on industry leading. We are not in their industry. They are pax guys earning pax profits from the cyclical pax business. Our business model earns more money. We are an industrial company and are treated as such. That's why the cargo cutout exists and why ALPA really doesn't care to fix it. That's why pax carriers are losing their minds over Emirates and Etihad and our CEO says those carriers are no problem. It's great to utilize ALPA resources, we've more than paid for them, but we need to exercise proper judgment when doing so.
Back to the matter at hand.
We need the MEC to filter. When you see the all blue calendars it's obvious we have a lot of pilots with poor judgement. The MEC vote is one of the only legal things we can do under the RLA to protect ourselves from corporate greed. If you're not glad they might keep a bad TA from a vote you are a management tool.
Whatever the quality of this TA, Do you really think we'll get compensated for the 2 yrs without a new CBA? Not a chance.
This thing better be REALLY good for how much they've saved over 2 yrs.
