Mostly true, but if you need a reason why pretty much nothing has been agreed to since - there you have it. The company may have operated within the letter of the agreement but not the intent. So now you have the Pilot group galvanized like never before against management. That whole fiasco was a huge management blunder.
I can understand you logically defending many of the companies actions and sometimes I agree with you, and always appreciate your point of view, but I really can't believe you are on here defending the April re-bid bait and switch.
They reneged on the SILs after they rebid April. They achieved the benefit of their agreement and never delivered the payment. An honorable management team after receiving the benefit of the re-bid could have said well we don't like this but we will do it for two months since we committed to it. They were not forced into this offer - if they had any doubts about complying in good faith they should have never agreed to this deal in the first place. Total management fail! As a matter of fact the benefits of a unified Pilot group (think polling results) has probably resulted in a net gain to the Pilot group.
Maybe we should thank Management for unifying the Pilots like DALPA never could.
