Who cares who is to blame, right? Sure, it is our fault as line pilots for not polling properly, that we did not foresee the things that MEC Union Leadership should foresee when it comes to protecting our jobs. Fine, I'll take the blame, as long as FDX ALPA wakes up now to the issue of Scope. This round of negotiations. Not Next.
We need to use all options to get back to the table asap and open Section 1, along with deleting our concessionary language - which has not been sent to a TA yet. New industry standards have been set in pattern bargaining, and we are still in open negotiations. We should use the opportunity we have received in our favor. By that I mean we did not have a TA last year with the company's best offer then, it could have passed and would have sucked.
The Company is suddenly **** poor after how many years of record profits, stock buybacks, etc...? I don't think so.
