[QUOTE=Vito;2155685]Brownie,
The problem I see with your thinking is, while you have valid points about sections of the T/A, if we vote this down and walk into the NMB with, what is the INDUSRTY LEADING CONTRACT in the airline industry at this time, and state to the mediator,
I have to disagree. We have the FDX contract without their QOL items.
And the NMB cannot keep us on Ice forever. They say this to pressure the party to an agreement. Like someone said, that is their Job. To get an agreement. And will say what they need to for this.
The A-plan Flat dollar expiration is a major screw up. Still Deadheading on us while FDX commercials. etc. Still have UPS in control of trip trades with open time. Big screw up on the EB part.
So yes, we could go back to the NMB and demand the QOL that our main peer has. Not asking for something not already enjoyed by FDX.
