I benefited from that, and in fact all EGL/ ENY pilots have, since it's been expanded. Having rock solid language IS imperative, but AAG has a large room full of lawyers (other half is accountants
) who will spend the term of the contract looking to exploit anything and everyone. Three pilot negotiators and two ALPA lawyers don't have that luxury.
. So why don’t you ask and fight for having a professional labor get hired and do the negotiating for Envoy. It always amazes me that pilot groups are dealing with multi billion dollar corporations that hire the best lawyers money can buy and we show up with 3-4 pilots that one or two may have had a quasi law degree that took a week course at Alpa national. Demand an outside labor law firm represent you that is paid by the envoy union and not Alpa national.
