there is no chance in h*ll we are getting those rates before this deal closes. Sorry SY folks but I’m skeptical management will offer anything more than what you’re current rates are…
we have zero leverage. IBT has royally screwed us for years. I think most G4 pilots will look back on this merger as a gift to us because it will finally end the teamsters reign over us.
One leverage of a joint contract is the company does not get the efficiencies and savings of a joint company tell its all together. The longer they 2 are left apart the more and more it cost and less savings they will see. So to an extend the merger puts some time constant on the company. That that it will make us a windfall but in 3 years there will be multi new contracts done at the other carries again.
