So given the EA expired 2 months ago, AIPA is contractually bound to have started negotiations 14 months ago. We are told substantive discussions only really commenced in the last 2 weeks. This doesn’t seem like rushing to me, it looks like it’s 13+ months overdue.
The rush is to have it to a vote within 8 weeks with nothing presented or surveyed to the long haul pilots prior to the vote. I call that rushing in fact it smells awfully like the last one to me where even the current president now admits we gave up 30% to get some shiny new jets.
