A "no" will not result in the arbitrator canceling the NEA nor will it be the arbitrator awarding us a 8% bump to keep in line with inflation. (I'm not sure where you guys think inflation has some part in this...). A "no" would more likely (as he states) stopping those specific flights, the NEA living on, and a few million to us as damages. The company hasn't made billions and billions off of it.
“The company hasn't made billions and billions off of it”
…because we’re only 1 year into the agreement.
In order to evaluate this LOA, one should contemplate the overall revenue of the agreement over the 10-year period it has been constructed for, no?
You’re also completely minimizing the arbitrator‘s wording in the memo. He literally proposed sharing NEA revenue with pilots as an appropriate remedy. So I’m super curious how you’ve twisted that into “we’ll only get a few million.”
All ears on how you concluded that a one-time 3% and a $4k check (after taxes), is “the best we can do”, when the arbitrator’s commentary about sharing revenue with pilots going forward are there for all to see.
