ASA/XJT MEC conflict

[JoeMerchant]

A little birdie told me the joint ASA/XJT meeting in ATL didn't go so well...I'll let everyone take a guess on which MEC is being reasonable. I understand one MEC member was kicked out of the meeting and 1 MEC walked out.

Deja vu,
back when asa was purchased the union guys acted the same way. They thought jerry was bluffing. The xj guys will soon learn jerry doesnt bluff he doesnt need to.

Jerry didn't bluff, and we got what we wanted. My guess is PBS will be gone, hopefully, and we will have a cnc that will fight and not bend over. There are major QOL improvements that need to be made at ASA. But don't worry the Skywest pilots will be able to coat- tail again.

Maybe the answer is one list and a new internal union.

Maybe Joe can get on his knees (again) and suck up to management like he always does. Thank God not all pilots are sell outs like Joe and actually demand a fair contract with concrete language not left intentionally vague with loopholes the size of the Grand Canyon to let Scheduling bend us over every chance they get. I would rather let the Sh!tbags at GoJet have all the flying at poverty rates before I'd give management the satisfaction of another swiss cheese screw job contract to "stay competitive"...

You may very well get your wish.

have you not paid attention to Skywest growing while ASA furloughs. If there is going to be really bad news who do you think is going to get the brunt of it? I would rather have a rough merger than a whipsaw and attempts at becoming "more competitive" any day.

Jerry will never let his baby (SKW) be tanted by the likes of XJT or ASA. Get past the one list ideas, and lets spend of barganing chips on more attainable things like QOL and Scheduling.
Another little birdy told me that SH came into the last negociation and told them that PBS WAS going to be in the next contract, dont even waste our time trying to get XJT line system. I know u XJT guys hate the thought of PBS, but the fact is MGMT will not sign a contract that doesnt include it.... Think he is tipping his hand a little by saying this... he is telling us how important PBS is to them, and thus we should use this to get some other things we want in the contract....
