If you’re talking about the company’s proposal to save all furloughs then I’m inclined to agree. With 90% of those polled saying “no concessions”, it would have to be a great deal to even make it to MEMRAT, let alone pass. I’m doubtful that proposal will even make it to MEMRAT. I hope I’m wrong.
Agree that the voluntary measure would easily pass MEMRAT. But would it pass in time for November bidding which opens October 4th? I doubt it. Since that’s most likely the case, will there be another furlough delay? Will only 220 stay safe or will there be more to allow the company flexibility in determining just how many pilots need to be retained after X pilots take the voluntary measures? Lots of moving parts.
I’d skip MEMRAT on the voluntary LOA and just approve it, even if it upsets the radical few.
I’d deep six the second company proposal ... even without seeing at it.
