The problem is that the mediator doesn’t care, the NMB doesn’t care, they want a deal, and don’t care what is in it. The traveling public doesn’t care. To be clear, I don’t disagree with your desire to be compensated the same way our peers are, I will say that I think your comment about voting no if we get .01 less than Delta is insane, but you are entitled to your opinion.
At the end of the day, I don’t understand how “waiting another two years” is going to motivate the company to put a ratifiabke deal on the table. They won’t put Sun Country rates on the table today, but two years from now, they are going to puke up Delta rates? Take me through that logic.
The reality is that this company won’t do ANYTHING until THEY NEED A DEAL! That is going to happen from billboards, *****ing about what we deserve, more meetings in mediation, pining about United or Southwest rates, etc, etc, etc. It will happen when external factors that we won’t know anything about necessitate the company getting a deal done, or when Frontier pilots let Biffle and co. know, LEGALLY, not advocating for anything illegal to be clear!!! That they are fed up, ****ed off, and won’t accept anything less than a contract like DAL, UAL, ALA, SWA. Right now, we are nowhere even close. Flame away.
