That their TA 2.0 which turned into TA 3.0 for them.

They had TA 1.0 that APA negotiation team and management came into an agreement Fall 2022. It didn’t get past the APA BOD with a 15-5 vote.

You're being a little loose with TA, but I get your point.

The AA development that caused big waves over here was not a TA. It was an opening offer by AA management to their pilot union & was essentially a cut & paste of our TUMI TA (plus a few dollars, I believe). Essentially, AA’s management saw what our union had “fought” to win for us & immediately tried to lock in the same terms for themselves. That juxtaposition made it hard to believe our union was truly functioning as a pilot advocate.

Fair enough…. AIP should be the correct term.

Add in several regionals to include Mesa, which were given ~100/hr pay increases. Vote was put on hold then Delta came through for everyone, Tod Insler was just a management lap dog. How’s it feel to be a toothless yorkie Tod? Man talk about detached from reality, only to continue to try and hang on to power.

Envoy was the first shoe to drop just prior to to the release of Tumi…

Tod was never focused on our contract only his ambitions to go to national, and that goes all the way back to the lax John Barton recall.

Revisionist history indeed. TI was not MEC chair at the time. MH was. I recall a couple of MEC comms prior to February 28, 2022 where TI said the company tried to close out the contract negotiations (November to January?) three times but he said the offer was not good enough. Everyone's obsession with blaming TI for something that was brought to us by MH and the then reps during his time as MEC Chair leaves me shaking my head constantly. Just like the legacy pilots still complaining about the merger, SLI, etc.

The buyback decision is idiotic. No cash in a few years? Buyback is only to provide top C Suite nice bonus.

The TUMI TA was Insler’s baby. Period. Anyone who works here knows it. Hamilton was a short term placeholder, and nothing more.
