Now compare that to what happened with TA-15. "The company said is was a must have item so we gave it to them."
Finally please answer this question referencing IOE trip drops:
If it is so inconsequential why is it a "must have" for the company?
Happy Labor day All!
I think the MEC and/or negotiators would argue that is was not given away but bargained for as part of a total package.
I never said it was inconsequential. Maybe someone else did. I argue that it was in fact consequential but concentrated on a small number of pilots. I think there are around 200-300 pilots in the training department represented by that council (48?). How would pilots here react if the MEC bargained for a special benefit for those 200-300 pilots and no one else? That is what the IOE trip drop has become. I don't expect others to agree with me.
