My point about the length of a 100% restrictive contract is that its not possible. We negotiate to a point where we feel we get enough restriction or at least some restriction and then we move on to the other parts of Scope like FFD/M&A etc. Could we have stipulated more of a growth number? Sure. As well we could have gotten pay higher/benefits and profit sharing. I am okay with the section including the Codesharing language.
I see why you want elimination of codeshares just like SWA, but do you want their work rules. At some point you have to accept the give and take of the process.
In respect BN.
The videos, backed up by...........reading the contract, and FAQ's, contract comparison, and eventually a roadshow have, will and have been very informative. The information is ALL there you just have to do your part. I hope more show the importance of your vote and your career than what your fellow pilot tells you in the cockpit, and what fellow pilots did not do by showing support (for the process) at the last union meeting where you can express your opinion and thoughts as constituents.
There should be no excuse.
