I am a very moderate guy. I don’t mind helping the company save money when I can, and I want our company to do well, because it’s in all of our best interest.
Having said that, if they forgive those grievances, that represent willful attempts to completely disregard our scope clause, that a judge has ruled in our favor, I will be very disappointed. That might be enough of a reason to get rid of ALPA and bring in the DPA. I don’t think most of us will receive much money. It will probably go to a few pilots who could have been in a widebody position, but it’s the principal of the whole thing. This will be very disappointing.
After reading the post above, I could see them dropping the grievances, in exchange for more favorable scope language. But it would need to be really good.
