Bingo. Anyone who parrots this management trope of “the pie is x big” needs a mental reset. If that were truly the case, then ALPA wouldn’t be needed. We would just gladly say “thanks” to whatever management seems appropriate and move on down the road. But that’s not reality. Contract gains are hard fought. They force the company to “bake a bigger pie”than they originally said they would. Don’t fall for this nonsense. Make em pay. It’s gonna be expensive, and shareholders won’t love it. But I don’t give a damn. Open the checkbook, Scott, or your dreams of the greatest airline in the history of aviation will go right down the toilet.
