Look, Polar has a pretty well thought out and firm scope clause. Do you actually believe that AAWH has the crews best interests in ignoring scope? No-o-o-o, they could care less. They want only to enrich their coffers. And if it means circumventing the CBA, they will do it. So they only want to merge the crews, h-m-m-m? And do you believe they are genuinely interested in the crews? Man are you naive. There is a saying "A company gets the union they deserve". That statement says it all. For good or bad the Polar MEC is asking for two things. 1. The company abides by the scope. If they want to merge anything, make sure it is within the scope. 2. The company must abide by the ruling, that they agreed, made last year in arbitration. On these two points the company is obviously capitulating. Why? If they truly want to merge only the crews, then why not follow the CBA as agreed to? Because it is not in their best interest. If AAWH agrees to merge within the scope, I am sure the Polar MEC will run to the bargaining table. So far the company has chosen not and we have status quo. And that is not good for anyone, except AAWH!
