I just hope the MEC allows time for open debate and line pilot input.
This is huge. I DO NOT want to wake up on Tuesday and read in the morning paper that my MEC has signed a new LOA.
If management has done something that requires the parking of 68 jets or us flying those 68 jets, then what is there to negotiate? Nothing!
They will come screaming and crying, and there is only one response to that. We've made plenty of negotiationg screwups over the years and they have shown zero pity to us. Why would you even remotely suggest that we do similar?
