Then they can spend millions more on other contract improvements to keep it in place, you will have another vote if it even gets put into the JCBA.
If I could draw everyones attention to ASA's contract, SEC 1.E.2 which states "The respective pilot collective bargaining agreements will be merged into one (1) agreement as the result of negotiations among the pilot groups and the successor or Company. If a fully merged agreement is not reached within four (4) months from the date a final and binding integrated pilot seniority list is issued, the parties will jointly submit outstanding issues to binding interest arbitration;"
The way I read this, if we fail to come to an agreement in 4 months, it goes to binding arbitration. Now, considering that PBS is now the industry standard, and that ASA already voted it in...and, that ASA's PBS leads the industry in concepts, it is reasonable to believe that an arbitrator would go with a PBS agreement. The only question I would have is would it be as good as what ASA currently has, or would it move in the direction of industry average? Either way, if it gets to that point because we are "chest pounding", we won't have a say...
