It absolutely constitutes poor negotiations/representation. If TSA had a contract worth a shoot, scope protection would have been in it. They made their own bed.
If your airline was so Kosher how come neither ALPA or the Teamsters 747 would represent you?
Oh yeah, these are real stand-up unions.
Come on! ALPA is bad enough. But 747? They're a joke.
Your contract is not industry average and the fact that you are proud of that is embarrassing.
And you're proud of yours? Yeah, ok, best contract among all of the Wal Mart airlines. Good job!
BTW; Air Wisconsin's and Eagle's contracts are better....so I've heard. Then again, to each their own. You should take the same approach.
