The deal should have never been put to the vote or put to the vote with the recommendation it be rejected. The scare tactics put forward by AIPA were a disgrace when a better deal was obviously available. I am sure management could not believe the gullibility of pilots when it was voted up – high fives all round.
Is it correct that at least one involved from the union side has now got their reward with a company job? Thirty pieces of silver for Judas?
The next EBA must surely focus on repairing the damage to the LH contract or the future is very bleak. If people want rapid promotion with second rate pay and conditions they can work for one of the low cost carriers. Pilots want a work/life/pay balance that is sustainable for the long term.AIPA should be about dragging up pay & conditions, not dragging them down in a race to the bottom.
