Not really over-hired, more like imbalanced in fleets, so that management can drive the divide of senior vs. junior, and one fleet vs. another. While they virtually seatlock certain seats for 3+ years. They try to churn up that bitterness amongst us. Yes, the bogeyman is at Hacks.
This is exactly where their negotiators wanted us at this stage of negotiations. It has all been planned play by play by the Corp., who holds most of the cards in the deck.
Remember 2015? How 'poorly' Express was doing and how there was a cost-savings initiative, right up until we signed the new CBA? Then suddenly Express was back to kicking a$$ in a matter of
days, after we bent over.
FUPM. No concessions.
