The current economic landscape = no leverage to ask for gains that cost the company much right now.
Holding the keys to an approval for CBA relief that THEY requested: leverage for zero/low/future cost items.
Cost of item that we (well, some of us) want in exchange: free right now and anytime they aren’t making money.
When we are in section 6 negotiations next, what possible leverage do you think we would have to make any gains, especially with regards to PS? Do you think the company will be even mildly willing to entertain PS in the future when they are making money? (Hint: no. Not at all. Zero chance).
Get it?
Totally agree. Seems like a no-brainer position for the pilot group to take now. I'm actually disappointed the MEC hasn't made the companies refusal to talk about the PS formula a non-starter for negotiating these LOAs.
