PS
I don't think they got what they wanted as far as people bidding any of the seats. Hopefully they will fix more than the 757 LCA problem.
Amen Lax. I have absolutely no problem with the LCAs getting passover pay if they can hold widebody. No problem what so ever.
What I was pointing out, if indeed the poster was referring to my post about the LCAs and IPs, was that it is too bad it took the senior guys getting the shaft to finally get the MEC to engage. They should be looking out for everybody (no doubt they feel they are) and not just the senior IP/LCA cadre though.
Read that message from the union and try to tell me that you can read it some other way. The "final" straw, apparently, was the IP/LCA issue (ie senior guys) that finally got them off of top dead center on this direct dealing/crappy LOA by from the company.
Thank goodness they have finally engaged, but it is sad that it took this to bring it about.
