It saddens me some people don’t grasp what Copy is saying. To me, it’s blatantly obvious.
This is business. This is how business works. PS isn’t asking for something that will hinder the company or thwart their/our efforts at building a great airline and keeping this ship afloat. It is a zero cost item and does not affect short term cash burn, which is of utmost concern. This is about rewarding CMs in good times, because of their actions and sacrifices in bad times. I’m more than happy to SE taxi, fly efficient altitudes, help where I can to see JB succeed.
However, asking for a concession, and in return offering 2% and a FLICA waiting room? To me, it’s underwhelming. What some don’t quite understand is that the company isn’t offering furlough protection as part of this deal. Furlough protection happens because of the deal. It’s just packaged and sold a different way.
I don’t have all the facts. And I don’t have the language. And I’m generally happy with most of what our union and our company have accomplished in the last 12 months under these wild circumstances. I am, however, on Team Copy.
