Andrew's latest view was by far the most positive video recently about negotiations. If Maury is still personally involved (which i hear he is and chasing Andrew to goodyear twice a week), then maybe the company is taking it seriously.
Andrew's latest video said that the Union has not passed compensation and apparently won't pass compensation until United gets a TA? i was surprised he basically admitted that the Union is slow playing negotiations while they wait for the major airlines to TA their stuff. Negotiations don't get serious until compensation is on the table and Andrew just said that compensation won't be on the table until the legacies agree on a TA so we don't get leapfrogged again.
I 100% second your vote to stop the extra assessment. Not sure why we are paying significantly more in union dues than ALPA, I thought own local was supposed to result in LESS dues.
