From what i am hearing the offer isnt bad but we give up our old scope clause and any chance of including skywest in sli.
I like the idea of an in house union but it does take quite a bit of initiative, money, and time to set up. If we voted out ALPA i would almost guarantee that the current ALPA leadership would lead an ALPA drive as soon as they legally could. Realistically i dont think we could "create" a union but i could see us joining another in house union.
Fact Check. ALPA policy now requires the joint contract to be negotiated
before the SLI. So it's going to be a little while. Also, the XJT MEC has already agreed to move forward without forcing a three way.
