EBA negotiations...a hypothetical?
Imagine an EBA negotiation situation where a long standing member is voted off the committee because the pilot group believes they are out of touch. Then due to pilots moving on to other airlines, spots open up and this pilot is now back on the committee. Then this pilot suddenly becomes the lead negotiator that allegedly no one wanted.
Then imagine if a committee was to conduct negotiations but doesnt provide specific details to the pilot group because they dont want to give anything away to the company. It would be crazy right if they didnt ask the group what they wanted, but instead pushed for changes that could potentially benefit an individual's rank and base the most?
imagine coming to an agreement with the company that means 2am reserves are now a thing, but knowing you will never have to fly that early because your base doesn't operate those flights.
Imagine accepting a duty hours deal that doesn't benefit most bases, but benefits your own base because you historically get more trips per roster. Imagine giving up a 50% increase to the duty hour allowance just so you can get paid while sleeping in a hotel (while most bases do day trips or minimum rest overnights).
Imagine selling out the unborn with three junior FO scales to help fund a 15 year captain scale.
Imagine supporting a type freeze so pilots wont be able to change bases.
Imagine supporting a deal that is going to help the company win the war against those pesky WA pilots.
