Yes, the ALPA President signed the contract, like he does all ALPA contracts ratified by the membership. So did Doug Keen, the company man. If you read my post....the one you just quoted....I said pay banding
WAS a big deal. A big deal to CAL ALPA. It delayed the negotiations. In the end, we did it the CAL ALPA way....as they wanted it. 787/767-400 in the high band. 767-300 banded with the 757-300. It was all about the SLI. Didn't work, but that was the reason. It's not rocket science.
