We would like to look at the 9E TA but some one needs to make it available.
Also, no one at XJ really thinks they are better than their counterparts at 9E. Whoever is on here talking about 9E bought XJ and that they saved us can go shove it. If you want to get the best contract for all, that is not they way to go about it. If XJ guys really wanted to be pruicks, we wouldn't negotiate at all and continue to make more than any of 9E and Colgan. We can drag this out as long as possible and neither Colgan or 9E would get a TA either.
The more we fight amongst ourselves, the worse contract we are going to have. XJ has a lot of pride and support for our MEC. Just look at the concessionary deal we have compared to the 9E current contract and the Colgan current practices.
