3) As I suspected, this TA is to fix Kirby’s PI problem. Hamilton would have fixed it via LOA/MOU already, but he couldn’t without opening the whole CBA.
We’re fixing the PI problem, but giving away so much else it’s costing Kirby nothing. If anything, he’s coming out ahead.
This is today’s reality:
Anybody voting to accept a concessionary contract that DOES NOT EVEN OFFSET INFLATION is voting to cut the wages of themselves and their fellow pilots. Any union reps recommending such contracts need to be replaced by someone who actually understands the purpose of a union. It’s as simple as that.
Send the quislings who bought into this back to the line. They’ve been paid too much to not work for too long.
