It seems that is all Ed knows. He clearly doesn’t think we are worth the compensation level we have achieved and will take any opportunity to reset our compensation. He’s done it before. Even went on record saying he lost sleep over not taking more from us during BK. So now we have a good MEC that seems to have drawn the line.
Ed and JL have resorted to negotiations via public means (Skynet) because the MEC isn’t playing their game.
We are at another crossroads in our career. We will look back on these times in a decade and will talk about what we did. Or didn’t do. So far I am proud of DALPA and proud of our pilots.
We haven’t knee jerked ourselves into an early agreement that bit us and we have taken a breath, wound the clock and flown our expired contract.
Keep it strong. Don’t let Ed or JL bully you into thinking otherwise.
This should once and for all end the argument that Ed appreciates the pilots. He clearly doesn’t. Never has.
