It's great to see that everyone "knows what the company will do"....
They won't contract out the flying? Based on what?
They will come back to the table and offer more....again...how do we know that?
The bottom line is that most of the guys against this thing have no intention of ever going over there. The worst thing that would happen is a 1 month STV. Most guys are commuters around here..They are already gone 2 weeks a month....we are talking about an additional 2 weeks of your life that could open the door to some huge numbers being added to our seniority list. I'll take an STV if it comes up. One month in a hotel in Paris...have Grandma and Grandpa take care of the kids and my wife and I have a month to check out Paris. Not a bad deal. The LOA is far from perfect, if it turns out to be a really bad deal, fix it in the next CBA after we are doing all of the flying. That's when we can improve this. Go to the meetings with an open mind and think long term. Like I said before, I was a no vote and the meetings changed my tune.
