There leaders were very vocal and the operation fell apart. Then they got an injunction. Following that things remained f@cked up. Then they got a contract.
Your timeline is a bit off. The mechanics in fact were not happy with the final contract offer because of outsourcing, and they did not sign it pre COVID. They signed during COVID because Parker honored his last offer and they knew the position of strength was gone. Shoot the whole airline might be. If not for COVID they’d still be without a contract.
