There are undoubtedly strings attached and a hidden agenda. The SAI pilot group are hopefully brave enough to see that voting down this sub standard TA will put them in the driver seat. It’s obvious that AAWW management is feeling the pinch.
Bon courage!
Anything beyond contract parity needs to be done in coordination with our Atlas brothers in a JCBA. All this would do is eliminate “almagamation” and get the SouthernAir pilots out from under the onerous bankruptcy CBA we’ve been forced to live under since the Atlas purchase of Southern. If Atlas had not purchased us 2 years ago, we had contract language that would’ve forced management into arbitration in November 2016 and we would have had a new CBA already in place by now. Would’ve it have been equal to Kalitta or Omni? Who knows. However, it would’ve been much better than this dog of a CBA we’ve operated under for over 11 years...that’s right..11 years with only a slight mod post bankruptcy.
