ok , let me tell you why aawwh offer is patetic,and yo can go and then tell cato why:
we have been negotiating for more than 2 1/2 years, the merger has an 18 months time period ( we all know it will have to go to an arbitrator, you guys have not been negotiating in good faith from day one) , and after those 18 months, if the arbitrator decides to make the new contract better than each one of the individual contracts, aawwh has the rigth to refuse the merger, so Polar will have once again to negotiate , another 2 1/2 years. so , let's see, 10.5% pay raise for 6 1/2 years...... that does not even cover inflation ( remember polar crews are already the lowest paid) .
we wwold agree to a 10.55% raise with an automatic 5% raise if the merger is called off by aawwh after 18 months, but they don't want to agree to that, because they obbiously don't planon mergin the airlines, unless the arbitrator gives us something like atlas work rules and polar pay.
now go tell cato you moron.
