This isn't anywhere near similar to the VB situation where they sat on it way past the agreed upon timeline, promised to discuss their plans with us, then suddenly and overnight sandbagged us with something different "just because they could" so we finally had enough and pulled it down. So now you think because of that, they fake negotiated something that would have saved them a ton of money, cost any participating pilots some money, then pulled it down immediately, well within the timeline agreed upon, out of some semblance of spite, where the only cost to either party was to them by reducing prescious cash reserves by tens of millions, perhaps hundreds of millions assuming a broader application and participation?
Is that about right? And so because of all that, what exactly would you propose we do from PPOS?
VB was not an overnight sandbag. Remember the wasted time and money management spent to program DBMS? Remember the published bid and bid window they ran? Remember the bid award to MCO for like 90 crews? Then ALPA pulled it before we even had a month of test, ostensibly because of worsening relations with management. Management was late to implement, but it wasn’t an overnight sandbag.
