Thanks to FL990 for this info from the ASA contract:
"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;"
So if after 4 months of stalling by management our contract goes to an arbitrator and he/she gets to decide what is in our CBA without a pilot vote? If I am reading this correctly, this is a huge obstacle for our new group to get an industry leading contract because of this weak language. I see no reason for the new company to negotiate anything industry leading because they can count on the arbitrator giving us an average contract without our votes. This is a big deal.
