section six
You see 101, in case it isn't plain to you yet, there can be NO section six unless the other party (the company) comes to the negotiations. One certainly cannot have negotiations by themselves now can they.
Since the company has said that we ARE going to merge one way or the other, they will not come to the table with Atlas negotiators no matter how prepared we are, or how much we might wish them too.
Since we cannot get the company to come to the table (remember THEY seem to think the merger is still on) we cannot negotiate a new contract which is now over two years past its amendable date. So basically the Robin and Bobb show has cost us at least a pay raise and possibly some good quality of life fixes. And it gets worse with every passing day.
So in addition to the two Atlas aircraft that are being currently destroyed by the Polar pilots (just like 496MC was); and in addition to the profit sharing money we lost when Atlas upstreamed it to the holding company and used it to buy Polar; your MEC is costing our pilots hundreds of thousands of dollars in lost pay and benefits.
Do you wonder why the Atlas pilots are so pissed off?
This all sucks worse than a vacuum cleaner.
