What gets me is the arrogance of some Union people that think that after taking a weekend negotiation seminar they think they are qualified to negotiate and write contracts.
Obviously the people that wrote our critical pay section were in way over their heads. They took the pilots groups money and we now have a contract worth less than the previous.
Travis has his plate full. He was left a crappy situation.
Yes ALPA national is to blame. If they can't proofread and write contracts that are enforceable then they need to do something else.
Actually, your lawyer wrote the contract, and it is enforceable. Your union leaders, not ALPA, just need to grow a pair and be willing to take it to an arbitrator.
And you voted in that contract that EVERYONE said was going to come back to haunt you. This forum was full of warning you to vote no. But, new jets!!
