Our airline will literally lose money because they drew down flights due to aforementioned issues, but don’t want to address the REAL problem?! **** Ted and his Nashville song, we need new management.
Well, if you really think the merger will go through, we ought to be working on a LOA right now to bring pay and benefits to B6 parity. Otherwise, the pilot group cripples its own potential growth while making it more likely the NK votes will go to a lower JCBA pay scale just because whatever the JCBA pay scale will be, it’ll be a significantly greater improvement for the NK guys than it is for the B6 guys.
If the merger really is a done deal, everything that can be wangled out of NK before then is all to the good, because we’ll get another turn at bat for the JCBA anyway.
