The Reality
I'm starting to believe that management will intentionally keep the pilots separate, ala USAIR. I believe that they will find this cheaper in their minds than a joint contract.
No way we will get a contract this year from these morons. Anybody out there still optomistic?
They delayed the transition talks' progress until after the congress hearings and then walked away. They never meant to sign anything. Next we will get the same until after the shareholders meeting and DOT approval and then we will be back where we were, waiting for NMB release.
I don't believe we have any "Wall Street Leverage" when we have a management team oblivious to the value of employees.
I feel that management may be unwittingly unifying the two pilot groups, but when are we going to be unifyingly fed-up!?!
