I haven't been on here much lately but want to say a few things. Did anyone see that the pilots want to renegotiate their contract. We all know the fa's were not happy with their deal and pax service has buyers remorse now. The pilots and fa's took binding arbitration which made them rush into deals they aren't happy with, which btw, included the LAA insurance. Pax service got the LAA insurance as well.
When DP stated he wanted to give everyone top pay he meant it, what nobody realized was that everything else would be cost neutral or worse. Look at the town halls, he states that some things may not be the same or as good but the pay will be above the industry. He never states that anyone will have an industry leading contract overall.
Fleet and Maintenance are in there fighting a battle that no other group took the time to do. We constantly hear, "nobody on the property has that." We are working hard together to fight for more than just money. Have we had our struggles, hell yes!! I will continue to fight on behalf of all the Fleet employees at the new AA no matter how frustrated I get. I am tired of jumping on a plane, and I will add my wife is too, to come back without a ta on articles. But, this is what has to be done to achieve our goals.
