The only changes I see are we can't decline a standing bid and now we electronically check in! Both concessionary.
We were all set to fight for concrete gains last time around and you fought us, we told you this would happened and you refused to listen because at that point you were off probation and you thought you knew best. It is A.M. and the MEC at that time that failed us. Look at A.M.'s latest (and thankfully last) agreement with the company, the reserve LOA. See how that is working out!?
PBS being pulled by the company along with all the gains was entirely predictable and we tried to warn you that this was a hollow contract a year ago! And yet you still defend it by saying "All we will lose is the Scheduled or actual, Line Gar., and CX Pay. Thats it!!" That was the only gain!
First off, its not fair that you know who I am but don't know who you are. Second, I am no fan of A.M and his work at the Negotiating committee. After a comment made about sacrificing the Block or Better grievence for a commuter clause, I lost all faith. Third, no use in crying over spilled milk now. Its time for action, My question to the MAG pilot group, what are you going to do now? Cry or fight? Fourth, SAP is a product of FLICA, not PBS.
