This had nothing to do with 900's for additional 700's. This was a huge part of our 2013 contract. That ALPA sold as the best in the regional airline world. Well fast forward 3 years and with the company not following specific sections we are left with at least 30% less money than the previous contract.
We aren't talking $5000 here. More like $30-$50k per year.
It's huge. And ALPA national is only good at signing contracts. They have crap lawyers who write crap contracts.
Ever wonder how the airlines were able to get f/o's flying jets for $18-$20/hr.
Alpa signed off on it. It protected mainline jobs. The very senior ones.
It's time to get rid of the u ion that takes our dues but continuously degrades the regional airlines
