OK Trix. So you might not be an ABXA pilot. But from your past posts on FI, you seem to have a SERIOUS preoccupation with ABXA operations and a VERY defensive nature when dealing with posters you perceive to be attacking ABXA. So it is what it is.
Your multi board attack on AStar was completely off the mark and very much without merit. The only "truth" in your attack was that the MEC did meet with mgt. But thats it. And at that meeting, the MEC told them not to even consider pay rates as negotiable. You failed (purposely it would seem) to mention that little tid bit.
As for work rules, you should not throw stones in glass houses. A few years back when AStar was sole supplier of Trans-Con flying for DHL, 1224, at the request of Joe Hete, reworked their work rules so that ABXA could capture that flying. As a result, AStar does not do a single Trans-Con today. So Trix, who started this "race to the bottom" you're so worked up about ????
But of course I'm being "defensive" so I must be lying. Instead of attacking others Trix, you should be spurring on your "friends" over at 1224 to get their contract house in order.
