Anyone that was focused or holding out for Delta +10 on day trips, it's over. Time to ******* or get off the pot.
We will have a TA soon. Mark my words.
I hope you’re right. But I fear Unterseher is going to get in the way and I don’t trust the IBT leadership at the national level to do anything to stop him.
the last thing Unterseher or anybody at the Airline division, national level, etc. want is to let Allegiant pilots vote on a TA. How do I know this? Because that is how we get screwed and everything Unterseher and his lackeys have done is screw us. They would rather flex their muscles in what’s app and with the media than lets us choose our own fate by voting on a TA.
Unterseher’s advice is probably wait for O Brien to call in a favor with Trump and get us released - Unterseher is that stupid. If he gets in the way then this acquisition a gonna delay a new contract for at least three more years.
Unterseher will do what management wants: continue to demand 30% unstack, delta pay + day trips. Management will gladly wait til 2030 to give us a JCBA.
I hope you’re right Chapi and we get a deal before summer, even if it’s peanuts because that would raise the floor for the real fight and the JCBA.
