Once TA2 provides the needed incentive to fully staff the training department, our leverage will evaporate and we’ll live under the agreement for years past the amendable date.
I disagree. The reserve stipulations, no fix to pool display, vacation pay, pto accrual, ... huge concessions to gain measly hr here hr there benefits. Ta1 was so manpower negative they can't justify the "1.3B" gain when they are giving 1.5b in work rules. We aren't even keeping up with regional work rules let alone being the world's leading airline.
