The reason I bring this up, is for those who only look at pay. We agree the pay looks fine. It's all in the details, which have been ignored just to get this out. It looks like MG will win by flashing a shinny new nickel at the pilots. Yes, I know seeing GB's name on the side letters is not a big deal; but if he is listed; how much detail was made on the wording in the scheduling, reassignments, extensions, etc (oh, the "etc" is also used as a reason the company can reassign you; as well as "etc" as to the assignment they give you).
So if the agreement said they will pay $250 per hour; but they can reassign your rate monthly for operational needs, "etc"; would you still vote yes? of course not. But we are saying its ok to allow scheduling to be literally adjustable regardless of reserve or bid line holder? Doesn't make sense to me!
You do realize that the LOA's with GB's name on them were agreed to while he was still here, yes? We currently operate ASAP, FOQA, HIMS, etc due to those LOA's that were signed by GB. So they are correct as they stand and have already been signed, some well over a year ago. Please, people! Do some research before blasting opinions!
