Nothing to that effect was said. All I heard was a consistent message of focused negotiations from a position of strength.
The video is on the ALPA website, or if you keep your contact info up to date, then it should have landed in your inbox about an hour ago.
COMPANY wants, not Union.
And that seems to be what they were saying; company wants to stop attrition and attract newhires, union says ain’t happening without economic gains across the spectrum for all pilots.
