Many of the attitudes towards this agreement were shaped by the comments made about certain contract improvements by the same people now wanting “unity”.
So, is the solution just let management just figure it out? Once they furlough, then know the real number? The one possible problem with that is that if the company has to do it "by themselves", they will be much more draconian. Why? Because the PWA makes it expensive and tedious to move backwards. Therefore they overdo on the downside in a massive MOAD and follow thru. That is a possibility is it not? They just want to be profitable at any size.....second is profitable while maintaining market share/route structure.
Maybe I'm missing what you are saying. What is the pilot plan you would follow? Who has more leverage, the pilots or the company?
