I have no doubt 99% of credit for the victory here goes to the IBT leadership but I can't help what wonder which one of the several huge mistakes management has made lately was the tipping point they are hoping gets lost in the hustle? Was it Big Dummy's slip that confirmed management collusion in the decert effort? Was it the egregious error of trying to capitalize on a colleagues death? Was it the outing of their plan step by step from the union busting manual? Was it the expected mutiny when the pilots started to find out management's secret ISL plan was going to screw them hard? Was it FW'S admission all he and Uncle are after is no representation? Was it another of the dozen or so I could choose from?
It's kind of comical. This MCBA is so management slanted it was a bit of an uphill battle for the IBT to sell and the pilots to be happy about. But Uncle's absolute defiance to do anything he doesn't want to do and refusal to honor it just turned this into a HUUUUUUUGE victory for the IBT. If management had just followed it from day 1, the union would still be licking it's wounds. Instead now we celebrate.
For a little while...
Next we have to give our negotiations team every bit of support we can.
Another next step is getting both management and the decert crowd to realize continued labor issues will hurt our ability to attract good pilots and new owners. The #1 reason to tell the decert crowd to STFU is it does nothing but prolong labor issues and that is a huge albatross around our necks. Now that it looks like management is starting to understand, maybe these a-holes will too.
Hey, it is Christmas... You don't think Double NN got a visit from old Jacob Marley do ya? Nah. That would be too good to be true. I'm sure he'll pick up the fight for decert again after the New Year brings us all amnesia of their horrible Autumn Hubris and missteps. Will the man-child throw another tantrum or will we get a record pace with the CBA negotiations?
The pilot shortage is killing us. Do you want to really fly with pilots Colgan rejected? Geez Louise. But who in their right mind, who employable elsewhere, come to OneSky right now in the middle of huge labor turmoil and ****ty terms?
