Same thing happened at the regionals in 2012-215. The pre shortage push for concessions was on.... all the regionals were voting no to concessions. Republic, Expressjet, Eagle did 3x, even silver voted no....
BOOM, PSA Voted yes to concessions in exchange for some of Eagles planes and a flow. Their whole MEC was at American within a year... leaving behind a 10 year concessionary contract.
All it takes is one.
Personally I think Teamsters & ALPA should file joint action lawsuit against federal government that the RLA doesn’t apply to ACMI or Regionals.
When RLA was written you couldn’t go to a PanAm pilot and demand concessions under threat of giving their flying to TWA. The RLA wasn’t written with the contractor business model in mind, and as a result the built in status quo protections for fair negotiations aren’t there.

Astar, the point is that if you guys would have stuck together with the ABX Neg. Comm. you all would have gotten a much better deal. I am not even talking about Single Carrier. I am just talking about both groups cooperating. However, Mongo and his cronies were too eager to comply to V1’s and JH’s request. Evidently this was done for the big prize of more airplanes and cities.
History has shown that there is always strength in numbers. But that’s ok. The past is the past. We can’t do anything about it. The rest of us in the ACMI world will move on and get our deal. Even if it means burning down the White Castle.

Isn't that a common trait in the industry? Pilots are never happy, and there own worse enemies.
