The EFPP deal, don’t know enough to comment. Maybe someone can expand on this? Regardless, this was a major economic offer with no further extension and now left with nothing because Pedro and his gang deemed it was not good enough. Shame on him and his posse.
Back in the 90's the legacy carries were told that it would just be a few RJs. That grew into half of the domestic seat being flown by regional carriers. Right now they are asking for NRFO flight. I agree its a small portion of the flying. What if they come back a few years from now and say, lets get a different pilot group to fly all of the phenoms, afterall nobody wants to fly the airplane. It isnt a problem until it becomes a problem for you and by that time it is too late.
"Major economic offer" does not mean it should be released for a ratification vote. Until the EBoard believes they have the best offer in hand there will not be a vote. Like it or not that is how things work. It is my opinion that giving concessions in this environment is tripping over a dollar to pick up a dime.
