The savings they put out don’t tell the whole story. Sure I would like to have AQP, but not at the cost of allowing them to have even less incentive to get the contract done. AQP may save them what they said just in “training” costs, but being able to train in MCO saves them a ton more. We already have that coming in the new contract, allowing them to do that with an LOA gives them those savings without having to secure a new contract. It’s a misdirection play, NO LOA’S PERIOD!!! Until we have a contract. FUPM!
its 3D chess man, chill out. Showing the NMB you are super supportive in cost savings and efficiency is important for getting industry standard rates….
They ain’t going to roll over and give us a 50% pay raise over AQP and MCO training….
but showing the NMB we are the best and most supportive labor group possible and are getting hosed gets us released for self help…
