If LOA 17 gives ALPA more control over the NEA, and LOA 17 gives pilots a raise and a $30 million payout, then what’s the other side of LOA 17? What’s in it for the company? How does the company benefit? Crickets…
Straight from the ELT’s mouths in the last quarterly earnings call approx 100 million in incremental revenue so far (and just think that was just in the initial first yr staged rollout). All enabled by LOA 12 without pilot input by a naive MEC, rightfully rejected by the pilot group in LOA 13….. now they agree to throw 30 million at us to make us go away…. We are talking a billion plus of new revenue in the next 10 yrs! I say vote no and let the arbitrator rule! If they rule cease and desist you better believe the company will sprint back to ALPA and do what it takes to keep the NEA intact. If not we get the foregone wage increases in the signing bonus for CBA 2 (that’s what the signing bonus traditionally is after all).
