[QUOTE=Bitcoin;4018803]Yes either union can file but I've been told that the ALPA MEC at SY will not file either until we reach a CBA. They understand the risk of our situation with a JCBA not being a trigger for the retention bonus payout, only a CBA.[/QUOTE
The entire reason for unions to file is so that they are not put against each other neg for aircraft and routes of flying. We as pilots would want to make sure we are together and in know way continued to be operated as two seperate groups. The JCBA is a CBA and that would replace our current contract at G4 and Sunny. The new contract now or Joint would trigger the Retention payout per signed agreement this would have zero effect on Sunny pilots as they would fly current contract until JCBA was ratified.
