What postal LOA? I don't remember voting on that.
The way I remember it, the NC told the company they wouldn't be able to do the postal contract under the current CBA, without the pilot's help. And, they were right. Problem was, the short-sighted, grab the quick buck, attitude of the pilot group played right into the company's hand. Sound familiar?
If the pilot's wouldn't have lined up at the trough for the Voluntary Vac. cancellations, volunteer and draft trips...The company would not have been able to do it. We had enormous leverage, and this pilot group wasted it.
I'm curious though. You say, "
we had a LOT more leverage with that deal". So, how would you have voted on that TA, if it had been presented?
