“If memory serves, it contained no improvements above CPI(?) just threats of giving the new aircraft to another entity. I also note that the EA you posted was only active for a little over a year. It makes you wonder why the EA was going to expire so quickly and what was going on during the few years prior to its signing.”
GFR, your memory is faulty.
Increases to pay rates were not related to CPI. The threats you talk about were part of the EBA 9 and EBA 10 discussions. B787 and A350 respectively.
EBA7 was rolled over and continued until 2010 (14 years ago . 20-14 does not equal 20+ years as you state).
Before it there was EBA5 and EBA6 as can be noted in the page below.
EBA 8 was voted down by the pilots, that is why there was an EBA 7 Rollover.
EBAs 9 & 10 were voted up overwhelmingly by pilots with a very large percentage of pilots taking part in the vote.
