We are concerned that we will be voting without a full understanding of future scheduling. Curious how it was presented to you.
Thanks
As explained to us with road shows and calls:
Delaying a contract vote until all the language of the PBS is written is exactly what the company wants. All other sections are “AIP” and you spend the next year at your wages, while the company slow plays PBS and saves millions a month, all the while fully negotiating in good faith.
ALPA doesn’t want this. Instead they draft expedited arbitration language rules to go with a PBS LOA in the TA. The company won’t be able to “wag the dog”.
I’ve read some of the Frontier threads on the TA, and man, it looks to be as similar to our “discussions” at the same time.
I’m sure this will be explained to everyone during the upcoming road shows and conference calls. Granted some will refuse to agree to this, but it was explained well and I felt it was the right path
