They succeeded with that the first time around with the batch size settlement. We can’t let it happen a second time. The issues with our PWA coverage rules are very valuable in section 6 if managed by ALPA appropriately.
It’s not mutually assured destruction when one side is using a pistol, and the other side has a nuke.
I'm not arguing we should solve their problems. I'm pointing out that there is a problem. I'm also less interested in the company paying triple pay to the wrong people than I am with them paying double pay to the right person. I'm not saying we give away the farm to do it or anything at all. But we can also acknowledge that pilots are being harmed.
