ghost- I appreciate your hostility and openness.
First- "EJA started at a very bad time in aviation if you were a pilot. You were extremely lucky to have a jet job. The only way to get hired was if you knew someone, worked for free, or if you paid for your own training. The pay was absolutely horrible but you were happy to just be flying" This is a quote from one your union guys.
So the guys who came early - came for the same reason guys came late- to have a job doing what they love- flying planes.
Fractional business was built on a model that had low pilot wages because pilot wages were low- too many pilots not enough jobs-
Mngt wants to resolve this issue as well as the union does. this is why mngt paid your MEC chair to attend the negotiation meetings. Taking him off the line to be a part of your negotiation team is not part of your contract (as was stated here previously) but part of the TA that was voted down.
Remember guys, this is a 3 year contract- last year you could have pocketed signing bonuses, pay raises AND started planning strategy for your next contract, so next time it doesnt take so long. All without mentioning scabs, strikes etc.
At this rate it will take at least one if not two years from the date of the voted down TA, to either strike or resolve.
