And there is the rub, United FA's have their own union where our FA's do not. So like it or not when we negotiate the company factors in whether they are going to have to give it to another employee group or not.

We could most definitely get the UAL deadhead language but it comes down to how much do you want to give for it. Remember nothing is free.

It's just my personal opinion, but I believe that if we negotiate a benefit and the company turns around and gives that benefit to another employee group then that costing should not go against our ledger because they have now marginalized the benefit.
