Get the bilge pumps on! If she gets any fatter, were never gettin off!
The company came to the pilot group a little over 3 years ago looking for concessions which they said would lock in a 10-year contract flying with United as United Express. Later we lost the flying we all thought we had given concessions to guarantee. (I am hesitant to say "We" because the concessions were given just before I showed up.)
The AWAC ALPA grieved this and it is now in the hands of the arbitrator. It is binding and tough to say how it will go. The pilots feel as if they were lied to by management in order to coerce concessions.
That is the long and short of it. Maybe another AWAC dude can add something.
