While we are on the subject of unrelated things, let’s attack those too. I don’t think our hiring is an issue, I haven’t seen too many empty classes lately. We are stacked with new hires out to September.
With regards to retention, I’m inclined to agree with you. We shouldn’t be losing 6-8 year captains to other airlines. In some instances, I can see it because generally those guys are commuters and are making QOL gains for switching. Overall though, no we shouldn’t be losing those and retention numbers should be better.
I don’t disagree that their tactics during the early stages of negotiation weren’t great, but that’s par for the industry. Alaska is a great example of just how bad we could have had it here. In that light, we got lucky.
Now back to the original question I asked you, what are they failing to implement? You claimed they have been unwilling to implement parts of the new contract.
Which part of the contract have they failed to implement? If you can show that they, through malice, miscalculation, or plain stupidity, they are not implementing, I’d happily agree.
I’m all for holding feet to the fire, but I just can’t get onboard with being frustrated towards them for no reason.
I assume they are still using AIMs? If so they have known forever that AIMs can’t do half the stuff they want it todo, well it probably can but they have to get off the old version that AIMs doesn’t update any more, and in order to get off the old version they have to pay $$$$.Originally Posted by YerOnGuard
We aren’t talking about that though. We are discussing your claim that they are failing to implement certain parts of the agreement. I believe that, so far, they are implementing (to the best of their ability, given the constraints by an outside software vendor) as scheduled.While we are on the subject of unrelated things, let’s attack those too.
