Anyone remember the summer of 2000 ?

As always, there will be a new contract when management wants a new contract. I guess they don't think they need one yet?


IMHO scope is not the issue. Management knows it is a nonstarter. But it is the distraction that will give them the edge that we might take a little bit of JV, non union pilots teaching at TK, insufficient improvement to LTD, sick time, reserve, etc., and even pay rates, but think “yeah we beat them on scope”.

We beat them on scope. We need to keep our eyes on the other shiny objects.

And I can wait as long as it takes to get it right.

All good.

We’re on strike.

No, just sit back and relax. We let Insler, and the negotiation committee take care of everything. They’ll let us know when we need to do something.

Wonder how different things would be if we'd followed that path with our first CBA during the merger?

Would have been nice.

But that rope was being pulled in more than two directions.

I do see both sides of that coin Cadet but most of that pulling was due to perceived threats and not actual ones, IMHO.

Start calculating your retro pay.

Now we must be patient and fly our Contract! Be careful not to do anything that we haven’t been doing. Our contract will get done, when it gets done. My Union, MEC, and NC speak for me!!!
