so in other-words, if the TA passes and the JetBlue merger fails. We go back straight to negotiations and we have just as much leverage. (Because using your logic this is a crappy TA and people will still be leaving anyways)
we are in a win-win situation if we say yes to this TA!
I get what you’re saying (finally) but
what if this does make a big dent in attrition/retention(even halving the losses)? It probably won’t, but if it does, and the leverage (of refusing to allow them to adjust first year pay without benefiting the rest) does go away for future negotiations because of that, is it still a good deal? And let’s not use any assumptions that the TPA and JCBA get accomplished quickly, raise pay, “two bites”, and all those wishes. Just this TA on its own.
