Boeingboy any thoughts?
Yes, several.
Breeze is full of it. Per LOA 93: Will remain in effect in accordance with it's terms until each of the provisions herein has been fulfilled, unless sooner terminated by:
- Written agreement of the Association and the Airline Parties collectively, or
- Termination of the Merger Agreement, or
- At the discretion of the Association, failure of consummation of the Merger Agreement by October 1, 2005.
Bullet points #2 and #3 are off the table - the merger agreement was NOT terminated and WAS consummated by 10-1-2005. Bullet point #1 requires agreement of US - what did Parker say about a chance very close to zero in another context.
LOA 93 is still valid and in full effect, and will be until a single contract is ratified - Breeze's fantasies not withstanding.
Breeze is full of it #2. "With 60 retirements per month coming up". That would replace all the East pilots on the Nic in ~8 years - won't happen. I've posted the numbers, others have posted the numbers. There's an average of less than 200/year for the next 10 years - and that's including non-active.
Breeze is full of it #3. Parella said "We will ask the Arbitrator to clarify several issues in the draft decision." No mention of made of the 3% annual raises (although they might be one of the several). But that is purely a guess based on absolutely nothing official that I've seen. It seems that Breeze's hopes are outrunning facts, all the better to keep his fantasies alive...
Breeze is full of it #4. "So, fodase,
Where does this say the things that you claim?"
Where does it even mention the 3% that Breeze claims is the centerpiece of discussions in the Executive Session? The answer is "It doesn't say anything about the 3%." But it did say "but it is unlikely that we will be able to get the Arbitrator to reverse his decision."
Breeze is full of it #5. "but name calling isn't necessary". Is this the poster that throws "DH" around all he wants? Now objecting to name calling? Hypocritical much?
