I mean, you’re not wrong, but that’s not what’s happening here. The union’s been pretty transparent about what they’re asking for & in my opinion there’s nothing “pie in the sky” about it. In fact, for a company that’s repeatedly gone on about their intention to be “industry leading”, it’s about the least you could do & even arguably claim to be the best. In fact, as time goes on, more & more of our requests seem to be matching a new industry standard rather than any kind of leadership.Meanwhile, SK seems to think Delta + $1 & current book is a reasonable offer.

So what message should we be unifying ourselves on- the fact that a few APC jockeys have unrealistic expectations, or the fact that our company is trying to sell us on a few extra dollars & the worst labor contract in the industry? We don’t need people doing the company’s PR work for them. Get behind the union & hold management to account for their promises.
