I have NO doubt "both" sides agreed it needed to be 'addressed'.....the both sides being management...and alpa.
Unfortunately, every day I'm feeling more convinced they are on the same side. I home ALPA national has done the math and figured out how much $50 Million a year is going to affect their yearly budget. The National union meetings are going to be moved from the Ft. Launderdale beach resorts to the La Quinta in Roanoke if they don't get it right this time. Then, after a satisfactory TA is delivered, these guys can continue to pursue National positions or Management jobs, anything with a pension.
