3. The main failure of the negotiations seems to be the reserve plight and the plight seems to be two things QOL for commuters and Short Call.
4. Some believe 13% (on top of the 3%) is chump change.
I know it's a bit simple but go back and read the posts and I believe those three/four things summarize them all. Maybe someone else can shed some other ideas as the vote approached this next week.
Its not the plight of the reserves that is the problem, at least not my problem. My problem is that they said they were going to fix 5 things in a 25 Section 500 page document. To not fix one of the things that we agreed to is a major fail.
In my opinion if the Union and company had not even mentioned Reserve rules in their opening letter we would not even be discussing it. Lets say they said they were going to fix LCA scheduling and pay instead of reserve. If they came out and said we didn't come to an agreement we would be *****ing about that instead.
Don't tell me you are going to fix something then don't do it!
