The TPA expiring in July is bad for the UAL side of the house.
CAL has block our protections built in to our contract, section 1 merger and fragmentation clause, UAL does not so the expiration of the TPA would not protect UAL's flying. After the TPA expiration, the CAL pilots could refuse to fly any shifting of flights that is beyond what the TPA specified, but I don't know if that would be legal and thus mgmt could get an injunction?
So lets hope that we get a JCBA before then or an extension of the TPA when we vote down the first JCBA TA.......
Happy to see that we're finally allowing the JNC to do its work without EITHER MEC meddling in the process so that
maybe we'll at least have a TA to vote down by July.
