2 areas where they got caught with their hand in the cookie jar; having neglected to secure the relief before signing the deal with American. We could have been working on this LOA since last summer, but instead they’re trying to rush it through or we “miss the greatest opportunity in a decade”.

Either the company didn’t notice the scope detail, or they were betting that ALPA wouldn’t notice... doesn’t matter. Either way, the sudden urgency isn’t on us. The deal has to be “the right deal” for the pilots to sign off on it. 51 percent, anyway. If it takes another round, so be it.
