[QUOTE=copy;3182215]They are passing on what the company initially said they’d have to furlough worst case. ALPA doesn’t furlough, the company does. Me calling BS on the company furloughing 20-25% isn’t calling ALPA liars. It’s calling BS on the ability of the company to furlough that many, not on ALPA.


And in response to your last post — no it isn’t just about profit sharing. It’s about using limited time leverage in our CBA to get something back that was unilaterally taken while in negotiations, and that doesn’t cost the company a dime, and still enables them to do the deal. Also, it’s something that most other pilot groups have and that we used to have. It’s not like the ask is not industry standard. And it only costs the company when they are making healthy profits. It’s a mutually beneficial proposition. Not sure why that’s so hard to grasp for you.[/QUOTE

so let me get this right? Still stuck on profit sharing? Because you said its not just to do with it at the beginning and at the end you said “only cost the company when they are making healthy profits” (profit sharing)...

so what are your other arguments. I have only heard you bark PS and “leverage”.

maybe take it for face value? The AIP literally is going to have a section for “furlough protections”. There is your WARN notice. Maybe you’re lucky and it doesn’t make it to you. As far as I’m concerned that’s a good enough predictor of what they MAYBE planning.

id be more inclined to jump on your boat if this was just out of the blue. Company making record profits. Poof, we are codesharing with AA.

So please, convince me otherwise other than PS and Leverage.
