No. It wouldn’t surprise me if the IBT attempts to thwart a vote. It’s their only hope to retain power. Nor would it surprise me if G4 leadership (given all I’ve learned from your pilot group) tests the waters in attempting to set new precedent by voiding a contract before a JCBA. Millions at stake when a JCBA drags on for years and years. And years. But it’s all just talk and I’m confident in what I’m told by my union in how this plays out.

I’ve learned there’s some really good people at G4 who are jaded. But let’s avoid baseless speculation. Many of us on the Sunny side dislike this merger. But we are eager to bring our contract to your doorstep and elevate it in a big way with a federally mandated JCBA for us all.
