When/IF we get a TA, you can vote how you see, but go into this with the reality knowing that they are NOT going for those “crap” AK rates, as some have called them.
This negotiation is 100% to hold us over until the JCBA process OR a failed merger which would open section 6 for a comprehensive CBA.
Like it or not, vote how you want when/if the time comes, but at least go into this in the position of reality, it will help IF/When we get a deal.
Alaska was a multi year negotiation during a pandemic and negotiating a bunch of legal language that gets picket apart by both sides for months. We are negotiating pay. That isn’t something that takes multiple years. It’s yes or no. Alaska is a floor for the industry in negotiations. Wanna be the laughing stock that rides coat tails and never leads? They can catalog my no right now. Pay only doesn’t take multiple years no matter what anyone says. They send something crazy and they can watch the planes come in while pilots walk out the door.
