Mainline pilots then have no recourse for PIA because negotiations are over.
MoUs will be signed and waivers for transfer of business provisions to allow surplus mainline crew to take LWOP for opportunities as SOs with the new entity.
They could’ve done the exact same thing with the 787, virus or not (and I’m sure they would’ve had the vote been no) There would’ve been no legal option to stop it. No amount of PIA would’ve worked. The lesson of 2011.
A no vote would give the company the perfect excuse to outsource however. I don’t think TS would be at webinar #142 right now if the real plan all along was to outsource. It’s obvious management want this deal to go through, but I’m pretty sure they don’t want another 2011 so the offer will be one time only.
