Making an LOA to allow extra IOE or withholding of lines for training etc would require such. That wouldn't mean concessions etc. Asking for help to recruit pilots from our group to staff planes could also be asked for. Changing the job progression clause to suit the new AA would require meeting. I can think of as many reasons not negative as I can positive. So again to come here saying, "I hear PSA was asked for concessions" is again nothing but a move to stir the pot.
You need to look outside of your airline and see what management is doing. Doug Parker said that he won't guarantee aircraft to the regional that wasn't willing to follow Pinnacle's cost structure. Second, US Airways management, PSA management and the Union don't meet all together in expedited "negotiations" for an LOA. Management is not going to decide wether or not to place the aircraft at PSA based on an LOA. This is about money, it always has been about money and it always will be about money. GO back and read your union letter, if you don't have it I will gladly provide it for you. Your union is telling you between the lines that they weren't given a specific deal but that they are not willing to accept a take it or leave it deal or a B scale. in other words they have been told that they are looking to reduce pilot cost at your airline. Read the second to last paragraph where the union tells you again that their goal is make PSA a place for people to come work.
Like I said, I like your positive attitude but we have seen this so many time, it plays over and over again but the biggest fact is that management already said they are on a hunt for concessions that resemble Pinnacle. They said this to all the regionals, PSA happens to be next on the calendar.
