By overwhelming voting for and publicly selling this TA as industry leading the union has really empowered the company and crippled the crew force, because it establishes the baseline for improvements moving forward. The fact we have publicly stated things like the A fund can't be saved, that a less than cost of living pay raise is acceptable, and we are willing to accept concessions ensures we will lose work rules, achieve only modest gains in pay from here and can probably thank our union for ensuring our A fund's value is not protected--UNLESS WE VOTE THIS DOWN DECISIVELY!!! Then I do believe a lot of the YES voting daytime cubicle flyers have to go.
For all of you who want me to be kinder, gentler, and more professional in the way I address the people who just spent over $7 million of our money only to discover they screwed us--I didn't like the "Crying Game" and I ain't happy about this TA. Still I think you have a valid point and I'm working on my anger management and will try to be nicer in future posts about the daytime cubicle flyers that F*CKED us.
