And the summer before that the company offered to do a parallel track. And then the XJT MEC offered the upper committee idea. Then the company suggested the MECs settle it within themselves through third party neutral arbitration. The ASA MEC turned all of them down. Even third party neutral arbitration! They turned that down!
So now we find ourselves in this position thanks to them.

Everyone seems to think that an arbitrator imposed this POS on us. But there is an important question no one seems to be asking. What was agreed to BEFORE the arbitrator's decision? Or to ask another way, what exactly did the arbitrator impose? Rates? Common variant? Certainly he did not impose this whole thing on us. There must have been agreement on some of the issues before this thing went to arbitration.

"A hearing is scheduled with an arbitrator on April 9 and 10, 2013, to determine if the ASA MEC has ratification rights on this agreement as established in the Transition and Process Agreement."

The award is worse than just the pay rates: it also sets the precedent for dual qual. "A pilot assigned to the CRJ operation will still be required to be qualified on both the CRJ‐200 and CRJ‐700."
I dunno, I'm just a line pilot.

Dual qual is something the company wanted in the new contract. It probably was something that was conceded during joint contract negotiations. So it doesn't surprise me that it found its way into this arbitration award. Especially considering that other airlines already have dual qual.

It was in a blast-mail from the union that ALPA lawyers had to vet because of potential litigation from the ASA MEC. How long are we really going to keep up this cherade of conspiracy theories and complete nonsense to defend your MEC? You can try and spin the truth but the people that matter know which side is completely full of it. Something to think about.
