What do you expect to gain in a JCBA where the union has even less leverage than section 6? UAL and the IBT have been talking for three years. If this is the best you can do in Section 6, eight years after leaving BK then I'd hate to see what you can do in a JCBA. You certainly didn't do that well in the last JCBA round with the America West deal that has left you way, way behind UAL and Delta who went into BK just after you and also went through mergers. How many more decades will the IAM Leadership(?) be using BK as an excuse for poor deals how many billions does the carrier have to make before you demand a fair share? Where is the profit sharing? Oh yea, waiting for the JCBA, and maybe in 2017 we will see that. want to make things as easy for the company as possible as usual.
Pathetic.
