They saw an opportunity to make great improvements and they solidified a deal. The way a reasonable and informed crowd understands this, is that the Company finally caved. If you recall, not too long ago, the Co was proposing a “flown” and “non-flown” pay scale that would have put the average hourly rate in the $175/hour range, with a literal gutting of work rules. So from there to where we ended up, I’d say is substantial. But to say the union caved is downright stupid. The Co finally needed to get something done and our union took the opportunity and made it happen.
You, ReserveCA, wouldn’t know a good deal if it sat on your face.
The fact that you'll even refer to those company offers says all you need to say. The union MEC is going to cave if they vote this in.
All that happened was NK's year-old contract, post-Jetblue, reconfigured so we can continue in fine frontier fashion, working over vacations and hitting 82, pimping ourselves out so we can capitalize on our crap pay scale.
