Period.
And yet when I mention it to CAs and FOs I'm usually met with "What's retro pay mean?"
And if you think we're going to get a contract accomplished in early openers... well... I hope you're right, but I highly doubt it. I expect nothing less than the last contract series of events to play out long term, only to get thrown in the trash once the merger is complete. I hope I'm wrong.
Listen to, or read in your email, the latest Podcast talking about contract 2018. (IDK if you were here or not, but it's the one I was here for.) That's the sugarcoated version. It was way worse. And then read about Contract 9000, which I was not here for, and ask someone who was.
But.. but…, this time is different! We’ve got record attrition and this is the best bargaining environment we’ve ever seen! AC are coming and I’m sure Teddy needs keep the operation afloat! Bendo said we’d get a fast TA!!
Haha, 2017 we had a bad attrition problem. Heck, we couldn’t get guys to show up to class!! I agree with Ed- gonna be 2018 all over again.
Company is playing chess and we’re stuck on Shoots and Ladders!
