Please tell me what everyone else has that's so much better because I have read many of the other agreements and they are not close to what we have. By the way all our pilots get pay kickers for China. Numerous people are getting Draft or AVA for trips. We now gained a few more provisions for our dhd bank usage and it doesn't get cut in half. During a crisis this isnt bad. While many other airlines are taking massive pay cuts just to "hopefully save their job" our pilots are making full pay check and in many cases much more.
Section 6 is when you have to fight for whole sale changes to the CBA. Many people are trying to atach things to the Corna LOA's that are complete rewrites of our CBA and that isnt going to happen outside section 6 period.................
Can you please post relevant parts of those other agreements?
One other note, nothing precludes wholesale changes in an MOU or LOA outside of section 6. And vice versa, many section 6 negotiations have been ended with minor changes and an extension. The only thing that makes one or the other happen, is two willing parties. It has nothing to do with section 6.
