PM said on the last pub call that we would have industry leading pay and retirement. The numbers aren’t solidified because if we agree on that now it might change until the contract is ratified by another group raising the bar. I agree with the approach. With the chorus of no to any first offer crowd I don’t see how my trust is seen as naivety. Everyone is going to vote no. Why can’t I see the product before my no vote.
Listen I’m sure you want the absolute best contract possible. We are in perfect agreement there. I’m trusting the process. Because the process allows me to reject the offer. Where I don’t agree is, negotiating in public, recalling reps, angry mob mentality that destroys unity and does not empower our reps and negotiating committee.
I’ll ask “you” this, what are you doing to empower your elected representatives and NC?
as long as we are only ones with an A plan they will always be able to say we have an industry leading retirement.
as long as we have the ratio of widebodies to narrowbodies we will always lead in pay rates.
the only empowerment the union has is a declaring what is struck work at time of cooling off period. Thats it.
if history repeats itself we will get a 4-5 yoy raise with commensurate work rules give backs to pay for said raise. Think it was coined as “cost nuetral” back in the day.
