-Mgmt has no intention of running parallel ops; merged into a single cert which could take up to 15 months
-Mgmt also wants both pilot groups under 1 contract/1 list
-Both locals agree on a 1:1 DOH integration ASAP
-Mgmt disagrees, and wants to drag everything out as long as possible (to take advantage of Southern's cheap labor cost, and likely wage both groups against each other)
-Union wants both lists under the current contract, then negotiate a new CBA (keep in mind previous bankruptcy is
supposed to give way to expedited negotiations)
-Mgmt wants to blend both contracts (a median of the two), then merge both lists (better for Southern but not good, worse for Atlas)
-Mgmt asked local for a more detailed plan of what they'd like to be done, as they may be open to other options
-Union believes it would be beneficial to both sides to get us all under one roof/payscale/contract as soon as possible
-Mgmt will overlook everything and both parties will hopefully meet again in a few days for further details
Anyone from either side feel free to correct me if I misinterpreted anything...
