So what's YOUR strategy, Hvac? I'm pretty sure the union would be willing to listen to anyone who has a good plan. As I said, the attrition thing is just ONE of many strategies that have working right now.
I have been flying DHL planes for over 20 years now and I
know for a fact that if even one DHL plane fails to fly, the Germans
will be talking to Purchase about it.
One other thing to consider is that, due to the chaos at Atlas while they move crew scheduling and maintenance control to CVG, the number of contractual violations continue to rise. Atlas has been on the verge of a "major status quo violation" for the past year and edge closer every day.
The Teamsters are more than ready to pull the trigger on a status quo violation strike which would ground a majority of (hopefully ALL of) the DHL and Amazon flights out of CVG.
THAT will get some movement.
What do you suppose the alternative is to 1224's plans?
Hope? Lanyards? Bag stickers? Give up?
