2. Company pushed hard to get arbitrated 700/900 pay rates determined in short order.
3. Company is hiring again even though dozens of FOs sit idle or are on furlough.
4. Company (presumably) posts on APC profile page that 700/900s will be here in July. That was several days ago. If it was an error, it likely would have been corrected.
Arguably, #4 is speculative, but the other points demonstrate financial commitment from the company...read: they wouldn’t invest in something unless there is something there.
I know people like to flame management, but the folks running the ship here are not idiots. They wouldn’t do all this unless the risk equals the reward.
All of this is my opinion of course, and completely subject to being wrong!
Email from the union sums up our assumptions once again and yes you
were wrong .
