No mention of 4A2B
Congratulations to the Negotiating Committee on what they say is a TA that extracts economic improvements, and has no give backs. The short duration of the contract makes sense in the context of the NPRM, from both sides. Rather than being called a tentative agreement, let's just call it a temporary agreement. The company will get its FDAs and the pilots get a raise without waiting for years. I am much more inclined to vote yes on an agreement that is basically book plus a raise, plus a better foreign domicile arrangement. Longer term strategic goals, such as removing 4A2B from the contract, were not mentioned, which is not surprising with the swiftness of the agreement and the shortness of its duration. Clearly, items such as 4A2B need to be addressed, hopefully before another economic crisis finds the company looking to balance its books disproportionally on our backs.
