If I recall one of the reasons BC resigned was because the company came back with a "better" STV package after the NC had told us we had "no leverage", the LOA was the best we would get, etc. He saw that the company was making he and his NC look like fools and the MEC was allowing it. Now they are doing the same to our MEC. The more they sweeten the LOA outside actual negotiations, and the more that tactic is accepted by our MEC, the more any agreement we have with the company, including the CBA, is weakened. The MEC loves to talk about precedent setting with Scope in this LOA. How about the precedent being set by the company direct dealing with the pilots outside of negotiations and the union allowing it? Either way the MEC looks bad on this. It's time for them to make a stand and demand the LOA be what we voted on or be re-negotiated properly. Incremental minimum increases based on practice bid results given in direct dealings with the pilots is wrong. If DW can't understand this than maybe it is time follows BC's lead.
