Johnso;
The triggers and exceptions are still in the PWA. Nothing has changed on our side. NOTHING. If they opt to furlough and or not honor the flow down, the triggers are met. Same as it was yesterday, same as it will be tomorrow.
My point was, why sit there and try to cancel a part of the PWA, give leverage to the pilot group, and press this issue when there is no need? (No plans of furlough or flow down?)
We are not talking about furloughs and we are hiring. In a few years we will hit the retirement window that will not stop until around 2031. At that time, I would be very surprised if CPS was still an airline. Heck those jets may not even be flying at that time.
