You're going to make noise as you should but to what end? Demands and grievances that will go unanswered? Years of arbitration that won't amount to much of anything? Sure you have the 824 arbitration sort of being honored but how much have those careers been slowed with no compensation? If contracts or our avenues of recourse actually meant anything, wouldn't every regional be hesitant to violate the contract? It seems like a regular occurrence and they keep getting away with it.
I couldn't agree more. But just because it is a long shot I still believe it is worth fighting. The original 824 award is proof that the stakes are high, and we don't always lose.
