Again arbitration is a crap shoot. Just need to be ready for it to go either way.....
If the union was really concerned with this they would start a public relations campaign. The problem is pilots make more money than 98% of the American public and the company knows this and will call us greedy. It also wouldn't hurt to get the other work groups on board. Right now they believe the company can do no wrong. We need to show them that scope is in their best interest.
Just my two cents.
Begging for INFORMATIONAL PICKETING on scope. Reps tell me this is going to be discussed at the June MEC meeting.
On the International Flying front, Delta's partners are bringing capacity to the market coming to the one place in the world they can make money; America.
American taxpayers put cash into saving these jobs, not just making placeholders for foreign nationals to fill our skies, coming to get American consumers.
