How long did it take the American pilots to get Parker to give them profit sharing when he said he never would?
You are living in the past.
Applications for unemployement benefits fell to a 42-year low last week.
American CEO Doug Parker, "in order to be the best airline, you have to have the best employee relations."
Doug was a slow learner, but his pilots helped him see the light.
Time is running out for our management. Either they take care of the Delta pilots or our board and institutional investors will replace them with someone who will.
Its that simple.
You have me a bit confused on what your strategy really is. In the past you stated that our leverage was backpacks off. Now you state the leverage is a strike via release from the NMB and take no other action.
UAL's current rates according to JM are 14% above ours overall or ½ percent below our TA rates. I am missing the leverage there also.
Why not follow your leadership instead of a constant barrage of contradictory posts.
This is going to take a long time. Follow your leadership and relax. You can survive a few years without a raise.
