Exactly, this merger presents no benefit to the Alaska group. It’s laughable that we’re getting told this is a win because we get to pick and choose a few more favorable work rules from a below industry standard contract. Or because wIDe BoDiEs, which will be fenced and cost us un-proportional seniority losses.
We should be fighting for well above industry standard NB rates and work rules, to compensate for the suck that’s coming our way.
