There are no handshake deals with this management. The pilot group wanted the LOA (by a pretty considerable margin), so they got it.
I heard a handful of people that wanted it on the call. Can you provide some sort of voting number to prove most wanted it? Did you get 2500 emails with the majority wanting this? The answer is no, the MEC heard what they wanted to hear and once again the company played us.
It is not a coincidence that they closed qt after you all signed it. They know if they closed it first you never would have agreed to the loa.
Stop thinking they have any of our best interest in mind. I know you have a lot of pressure right now but we can’t be short sighted on these deals. Every deal offered by managment had a motive and I haven’t found one that is in our favor. You can say this didn’t have any concessions but it did in that if enough take it we won’t be able to get a deal for the majority of the pilot group. The company hopes to have enough sign up for this crappy 19 hour deal they don’t have to come back to the table.
Whatever though, it’s too late now and we will just have to wait and see. Hopefully enough realize this deal was stupid and they have to come back.
