You may not think that's good enough, but you can either back your union or back the company.
I stand behind the union.
I stand behind the union. That doesn’t mean I have to agree with everything they say or do, or with this TA. 5 MEC members, who obviously support the union, voted no. Don’t think you are bound to vote yes just bc it (barely) passed the MEC vote...and don’t think you are required to support everything in it for the same reason. You don’t have to like it, or not like it...just decide whether or not it’s meets your expectations.
And as for the codeshare choke comment...we haven’t even started engaging in real domestic codesharing yet. If the company was at a codeshare choke point and didn’t care about the ability to expand them significantly, we would have more limits to it in this TA. They have a reason they insisted on almost limitless codesharing, so long as we have a block hour, one pilot, and/or one percent growth.
