Conceivably pass by 70%? By what data and who's estimation? When has that ever happened?
Was that metric used last time? If so, it was way off. If not, why not?
The MEC has our input and our surveys, if we don't get a deal the threshold has not been met. No, if there is no deal, it is entirely managements fault.
We don't need a deal, we need a restorative deal because now they can afford it. QOL is not negotiable.
Negotiations are all about costs and in this case cost increase tolerance by management. If they need more pilots to fly, hire more pilots. If they can't hire more, invest in training and recruitment by making the job more desirable. Everything comes down to dollars. If there aren't enough dollars on the table its because management didn't put them there.
