Come on, the pilots did choose the vendor. The Association is the pilots. You think they should put to a vote to this pilot group on what vendor we should have? We have representatives of the pilot group to make those informed decisions, based on information.


LOA states that the vendor decision will be decided by the JPWG. BUT.....

“Should the JPWG fail to reach mutual agreement within fifteen days of the conclu-sion of the interviews, the Association will make the final vendor selection from the three interviewed vendors”.

Fortunately the agreed on NavBlue. Had they didn’t, the union has final choice. We didn’t need the company to agree on any choice we made, we had final veto and decision power.

If I ask my wife what she wants for dinner, I can agree and we eat that or I say “I want something else” and we will still have what she wants. She is the Association, I’m the company. She makes the decision what I’m eating in the end. I love my wife.
