I'm not an acey but I'll definitely be fighting for a superior contract then we have now. Also the ASA contract isn't superior to the expressjet contract in many ways. There should be no reason that nearly every aspect of the new contract isn't better than each of the two existing contracts.
Good luck
Ok, I see what you were saying now.
But to say this TA is a joke is far off the mark.
Considering how far this TA had to bring up the guys at Colgan and fixing the harsh conditions 9E has been working under, this is a huge step in the right direction.
Im not saying it's perfect, we all have a long way to go, but it's a very solid contract considering the huge hurdle of combining these 3 groups.
The entire strategy of this joint TA was to take the best of what the 3 airlines offered as a merger contract.
It is definetely one of the better contracts in the regionals if ratified.
Alright BoilerUP, you have an expressjet contract up your sleeve?
