Just because it hasnt happend overnight doest mean its not going on. And if you think that we are just going to ignore the fact that the 190's physically have 100 seats and let the company pay us the 77-99 seat pay rate then you have lost all common sense. The union is all ready talking to the company about this and there is a system set up for the airplane to be operated while the pay rate is negotiated with back pay for when the rate is setteled upon.
On a side note; this company is very different from most airlines. They are very tight lipped on any information. They have the union sign confidentiality statements and that contributes to the utter vaccum of information that comes from the crystal palace up there in IND.
You guys are lucky the Midwest pilots didn't use that same line for the Midwest E170 flying. But TPG/BB wouldn't agree to that because they wanted to use Republic pilots to undermine our contract.
I mean... why would BB want to provide retirement funding, trip guarantees, and industry average pay rates.
He has you guys.
