as much as our company hates its pilots they do seem to tell the union a lot of things. it seems like everytime we have a conference call with the union they tell us that they have "privilaged info" from the company that they aren't able to discuss with us. like before we started flying for delta someone asked if we were getting 900's and the mec rep said that he knows whats going on but becaus of confidentiality agreements with the company they weren't able to tell us. we also started negotiating with the company the 900 rates before we even had them "just in case". of course they didn't like our proposal so once again it went to an arbitrator. so they may not like us but it seems like they keep our leaders in the loop.
