Good thing they didn't bring it to a vote that would have failed. What would we do without that flow

Yeah, but everyone should be glad that they got those raises locked in and ended the bonuses, otherwise we’d all be making quite a bit less right now

Read your policy manual. A pilot vote wasn't required in any way, shape, or form last summer. But you'd know that if you read it. At least ORD held out and said no.

Kudos to PSA for standing strong.

The WO’s are all in a tough spot with this state of the industry since we don’t have contracts with our mainline partner. We could all be the next on the chopping block if needed for scope and/or cost relief.

I hope the days of the whipsaw are behind us, and we can all stand together to preserve what we fought for these past few years.

Agreed. We don't all have to be best friends, but we need to be united in upholding the profession and not allowing AAG to blame us for their woes.

Its aag proven method of beating w/o's. Go after psa, then use psa agreement to beat envoy, then go to pdt and push them to the cliff.
if this is true regarding psa, then aag has lost or been delayed greatly from beating the shi+ out of the w/o's. We will just have to wait and see.

remember aag is not out of the woods, they ate still greatly in debt. They are the favorite choice of being first into bankruptcy
if bankruptcy is possible then concessions at this time is wrong because they will just come after the contract again in bankruptcy. AAG likes double and triple dipping.

Lets hope that new bill gets passed in Congress to stop them from using BK's to rewrite labor contracts. If you haven't done so, make sure you follow the ALPA steps to inform your representitives.

I hate to be a Debbie Downer, but will that even accomplish anything? Say airline X goes bankrupt, they can't gut the contract, so the just close down the company and magically reopen as airline Y. Everyone gets a ****ty new contract and first year pay. What's to stop them from doing that?

Sure that’s a possibility, not sure how likely though. Still better than them using BK’s as a negotiation tactic. Heck some companies file BK’s just to force a cheaper contract. That’s what the bill aims to stop. A company is way less likely to shut down every eight years than file BK.
