But that would necessitate actually doing their job instead of short cuts to staffing.
This is spot on. Unfortunately the company is only really willing to talk if scope relief is on the table. We have said that any changes to our scope policy will only tighten the language. Without scope relief, they see no real need to negotiate a new contract at this time, with scope relief we’re don’t see the need to talk. Here we sit. At least we’re getting 20 brand new max 9’s this year.
