I think that this MEC is doing a good job so far. They are not rushing to an agreement, they are holding firm, and the message is consistent. I am behind the union and agree with the message, but I also realize that any potential TA at any airline won’t please everyone, nor will a pilot group ever get everything that they want. I also understand that the limiting factor to an agreement at any airline is total cost and how operations could be affected. Our job is to maximize financial and QOL gains within the confines of a cost structure that the other side of the table will eventually except.
