They are NOT using Delta, American and United in their negotiations behind closed doors. You will be thrilled becasue the jr. guys got a raise from $86k to say $106K. It doesnt take a Union to negotiate that because here is what will happen, FLEX will raise to $110k to be MORE than NJ without any kind of crazy billboards and pilots in their blazers walking around Palm Beach acting like they are on strike. If you cant figure that out, then I cant help you!
Why doesn't Flex just raise rates on its own now? Why wait?
