And I say this as someone who has NO animosity towards PSA at all. None. The only airline I don't care for is Mesa..and I think that is pretty universal at this point. But I have nothing against PSA..in fact I was happy to see us all kind of start to get along with these equal contracts that we all get..as opposed to being played off one another.
This could also be said about the initial retention bonuses too though. PSA and PDT were holding out for better but envoy accepted. The point I'm making is people can always assume they will get more if they hold out, even though they have no clue if they will or not. And every time, the first one to accept will be the one who catches crap about it. I'm in total agreement with you, it's. I've to see everyone starting to work together some. I dkn how your MEC conveyed it to your pilot group, but I'm hoping it was just the usual people exaggerating what they heard, as opposed to the MEC genuinely blaming PSAs MEC.
