Truly would have been a sweatheart deal for her. Whatever comes next probably won't be as good of a deal for someone in that narrow situation. Once you understand that, you'll understand why she's so upset that TA2023 failed.
I have never said I was so disappointed that TA1 failed, you think you know me, but I definitely know you, and to the other posters question, the issue is that the New MEC is making promises it cannot bring. They continue to underestimate our position(s) in the world, most notably, that we are NOT nor will ever be in direct bargaining until the next CBA. There are only two ways out of the NMB grasp and they don't have the fire power to wait out a release and even if we got one (in years) they would falter in execution as the Company would likely have such a battle plan in place it would scare people so badly that the lines would be crossed faster than pilots at free MGT pizza events. What they need to do is settle this deal, as quickly as possible, before we lose more ground/money and get that timer going to get back into direct bargaining for the next deal.
How is it going so far ? What dates are on the schedule ? oh ya, none.
Tick tock TCT, TC, CC, JT and the rest of the tough guys.
